SF Slams Irish Water For Leaving Residents 'In Limbo'

Sinn Féin has hit out at Irish Water for leaving Clondalkin residents in limbo for two months following flood damage to their properties

The burst water mains close to Ashwood estate on November 4 caused significant damage to property affecting ten homes.

Cllr Eoin Ó Broin said: "On November 4th last year a large water mains burst close to Ashwood estate off the Fonthill Road in Clondalkin.


"Property in ten private homes was badly damaged. Irish Water sent a private assessor to inspect the properties during the week of the flood. All but one of the houses was inspected. One house still has not been inspected.

"Since then neither the residents nor I have been able to get any answers from Irish Water as to what happens next.

"Since November 4th I have contacted Irish Water directly on eight separate occasions on a designated public representative address. I have yet to receive a substantive response.

"This is yet another example of the chaos that is Irish Water."
