Flood of anger from Cork councillors after Irish Water no show

Snubbed county councillors in Cork yesterday vented their fury against Irish Water after the utility declined to send representatives to County Hall to discuss a serious water supply issue in East Cork.

Both Irish Water and the HSE had been invited to a meeting after a boil water notice had been put in place for up to eight months for thousands of people being served by the Whitegate/Dower regional supply system.

The HSE did send two senior officials.
