Ceist:1447 Mr. Dennehy asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he has satisfied himself that sufficient measures are being carried out to ensure that leakage of water from the water distribution system is minimised; if his attention has been drawn to a report, Water Service Leakage Management and Efficiency, which was recently presented to the Northern Ireland Assembly, which suggested that 37% of treated water leaked before it reaches consumers taps; the comparative figure for this State; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
