It was constant.

Liveline

It was going.

The normal, it goes at night and on the locker in the bedroom, his phone, he turns off the sound, but it hops on the locker at night with these alarm systems.

He is one of the most dedicated...

caretakers, I imagine, that are in the country, because I live with him, I know.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

I see the 24-7 picture.

And I feel that within the council he would have some very good managerial lines.

Liveline

I can think of one gentleman next to him in the line of management who understand and who empathise with the type of job that he does.

"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

And I again have to say

Liveline

as a housewife, as a mother who have reared children, how important it is to have clean water, whether you're making bottle feeds, whether you're having a bath, bathing your baby.

Liveline

When you turn on the tap, you want to lift a glass of clean water to your lips.

Liveline

You want to be able to boil a kettle.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

So what I'm trying to say is if you have the right people working in the right positions...

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

you will get that service.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

But I feel myself that, I don't know, I feel it has disimproved in recent times.

Liveline

And I know that the government are pouring money into the system with the hope of trying to update and upgrade that system to a world-class system.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

But sometimes I really would like to see the spreadsheet as to where the money is spent.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems
