Uisce Éireann defends refusal to attend public council meeting amid dirty water controversy

Uisce Éireann, the HSE, and the EPA had all been invited to send representatives to the meeting in Cork City Hall on Thursday about the discoloured water. 

Uisce Éireann has defended its engagement with Cork’s politicians amid mounting anger over the city’s ongoing dirty water problem.

This follows Uisce Éireann’s decision to decline an invitation to attend a special public meeting of Cork City Council on the issue, a meeting that was ultimately postponed.
