Irish Water defends water-quality record as boil-water notice continues in Dublin, Kildare, Meath

Irish Water’s managing director Niall Gleeson has defended the company’s record on water quality saying the greater frequency of boil notices is because of more scrutiny.

“There’s more scrutiny. We’re testing more rigorously and picking up problems...It’s not that water quality is deteriorating,” he told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland.
