Madam, – The executive manager of Dublin City Council is quoted (Home News, December 30th) as saying that funds are currently not available to deal with the risk of losing water supply to north Wicklow and south Dublin should the tunnel from the Vartry reservoir collapse. How can this be?
There appear to be funds for ministerial pensions and projects such as Metro North. Are these more important? It beggars belief that the supply of water in Ireland has been given such low priority by the Government for such a long time.
Has this to do with incompetence, economic treason or stupidity? All three, I believe. – Yours, etc,
