It's incredibly difficult, but there's a whole lot of other issues there.
There's fire safety, number one.
We don't have access to any sort of water.
If the fire brigade come, they need to make sure they bring the water with them.
The school has had to close on quite a few occasions because of this.
health and safety issues.
We also, now I have been dealing with the Ishghe Eireann.
They are incredibly difficult to deal with.
We have had our TDs and our local representatives working really, in fairness to them, they have been working really, really hard from all various parties on our behalf.
But they're just treated with complete contempt.
my local TV managed to get a virtual meeting with Ishgha Eireann it was over a year ago with representatives from Ishgha Eireann and it was just the rinse and repeat the same issues planning and resources and money and all that sort of stuff now the other thing I know I'm going to miss out a few bits here but the other thing is we live in the most beautiful area
planning permission has gone around us for nursing homes over the years, for housing estates, for crèches, and they've all been turned down because of the water infrastructure.
Now, on the most basic level, I just, like, I got up this morning to fill my kids' water bottles to school and I couldn't fill their water bottles.
It's part and parcel of the human right.
I have been on to the data, sorry, the communication regulator,
I was told that would take about 18 months for that to come to any sort of resolution.
Ishka Air and Alfa, they keep closing.
The other problem is that we have kept a reference.
And I would strongly advise anyone, and I know there's lots of other areas with problems with water, keep a log and a reference number of every single phone call you make.
What they're doing and what they have been doing is, so you ring, you get a reference number.
