People with dementia drinking Cork's dirty water, Dáil told

People in Cork are spending up to €20 a week on bottled water because they can’t rely on the domestic water supply, the Dáil heard.
Vulnerable people with dementia are unknowingly drinking dirty brown water because of ongoing problems with Cork’s drinking water supply, the Dáil has been told.
Laundry has been ruined, household appliances like dishwaters and washing machines have been destroyed, and people are spending up to €20 a week on bottled water because they can’t rely on the domestic water supply, two of the city’s northside TDs said.
