The Taoiseach was challenged to drink "urine-coloured" water taken from taps in Cork City amid renewed calls in the Dáil for action to resolve the city's ongoing dirty water crisis.

Simon Harris described the water sample, which came from taps in homes in the Mount Farran estate on the city's northside, as “vile” but said the government has provided Uisce Éireann with an additional €1bn in the budget to fund it to 2028.
