Only 53% (and declining) is now deemed “satisfactory”.

3) #IrishWater cd develop some of the groundwater (wells) on Dublin’s doorstep and give Dublin some vital DIVERSIFICATION
Instead it wants to pump yet more RIVER water from the Shannon, making Dublin even MORE exposed to rivers than it already is
