asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he is aware of the severe hardships imposed on the residents of Shannonbridge, Offaly, who are frequently without clean water supplies for domestic use; if he will have inquiries made into the matter; and whether, in view of the local complaints, he will arrange for the installation in the village of a proper water supply.
