Hi, Ciarán.

I'm in County Clare.

Well, the situation, Ciarán, with me is that I am the wife of a water caretaker.

So I just want to give a slightly different perspective to what we've actually been listening to.

I obviously understand as a mother and a housewife what it means to have good water coming from your sink.

I also understand what it means to have bad water coming from your sink.

But I can only give my perspective as the wife of a caretaker who works seven days a week.

He works for the council, but the Irish Water are in the position at the moment of taking over the whole water system nationwide.

But my husband still at the moment would be employed by the council

But it's a matter of days, actually, as to whether he will move over to Irish Water or stay within the council, but possibly be deployed to a different position.

But I cannot work out in my head he's not here.

I can't work out in my head how many years he's actually been working as a water caretaker.

But it is possibly 10, maybe 12, 13 years.

And as I said, it's seven days a week.

And the only time that you actually get away from that job is when you take annual leave.

So just to give you a perspective on this and to give the listeners a perspective, this weekend was one of the most important family occasions in our house when my daughter got married.

And he was off.

He took his holidays.

He took his leave.

And on the morning of the wedding...
