Report: Irish Water did not adequately respond to previous contamination scare

A boil water notice remains in place for 600,000 people for the third day day in a row.

Latest: It has emerged that Irish Water failed to adequately respond to a previous contamination scare at the plant at the centre of the current boil water notice.

An EPA report into the March incident found that Irish Water failed to immediately test for parasites after a pump stopped working at the Leixlip water treatment plant.
