it is dispickible

Once was enough, but certainly not twice, its a disgrace !!

It should be compulsory for all candidate in next years local election to publicly drink 1 litre of Galway tap water whenever they make election promises...

158 Days Later and the boil water notice officially lifted, Now safe to drink Galway water. About Time......

Sort it out, its been over 4 months, its getting ridiculous

The government of Ireland should be ashamed of themselves.

It is disgusting that in the 21st century in a first world, wealthy, thriving country people cannnot drink water from their taps!!!

i'm always thirsty now.

Visited Galway for weekend & although we were very careful not to drink the water still had an upset stomach. Is it sufficient to just boil water in a kettle? The centre for disease and control (CDC) website in America recommends to boil water for at least 1 min and up to 3 mins if the risk is very high.

Why the hell are we still paying VAT on water? Surely that should have come in once they found the water was contaminated? I mean we pay the government a load of taxes for the upkeep of these services and now they have fecked it up. They have neglected the water supply in galway (and probably the rest of Ireland too), polluted it by not putting the proper restrictions on buildings and septic tanks (im sure bertie has a few building friends :p ) and now we are still paying for it?

Its time to cop on, and take control of our wasteful government.

there's a lot of excrement about the place but the biggest turd in Galway needs run out of town in wheelbarrow of his own

A scandal to the highest degree. Hound the lot out of their cosy, undeserved jobs.

I am out of the county for some time but i visited my mam there and foolishly brushed my teeth with the tap water. I got away with it but the anxiety was horrid. What a local, regional and national disgrace...

my son spent 9 days in hospital sitting on a commode issolated from the rest of the ward! it took four weeks for him to recover from his illness and he still gets cramps in his stomach. someone has to be made accountable for this debacle!!!!

disgrace!

I think not only is it an absolute disgrace !!!
It is awful for the people of Galway and for tourists and holidayers etc.
For ex. I may be going on holiday to Galway but the whole water situation is putting me off-i don't want to be sick all the holiday!

Absolute disgrace. Been ill twice, and i've avoided tapwater altogether! Something needs to be done and now!

how did it get so bad?????it disgraceful!!

shame on the government

disgrace

this is a national disgrace. with an election imminent the people of galway have a chance to show their disgust with the governments handling of this crisis. however all people seem to care about is stamp duty and house prices and not the efficient running of essential services.

This shouldn't happen anywhere, much less a country with (usually) such a standard of living as Ireland.

Wow! This really sucks. It's really sad. What about all the babies and animals! All the little puppies and stuff is going to need water to survive. This saddens my heart. If i could do it, I'd send everyone with pets and babies water.

I'M F*ING THIRSTY

And blocking words on a is just dumb! It's like banning anger.

we shouldnt have to pay vat for water to bertie.

I cannot believe this matter has not been resolved. Regardless of the effect this will have on tourism to the area, the fact that Irish citizens in a still find themselves boiling or buying water on a scale like this really is outrageous. This would simply not happen in Dublin and I cannot understand why every last effort is being made to support the residents while the larger problem is dealt with. If its army water trucks needed on the streets, please let it be. PS. Niall Ó Brolcháin please stop making this an election issue. You are the mayor and you should have taken steps to resolve this on your watch instead of having one eye on your own election asspirations. Fingerpointing is no use - Get it done!!!

I have friend's juat back from South America & Sri Lanka.... Guess what there have clean drinking water!!!

outrageous!

I'm thirsty

Clean up the act
