People are fearing losing the "local touch" on water services and repairs, if the service is regionalised.
That’s according to independent councillor for the Castleisland/Corca Dhuibhne Municipal District, Charlie Farrelly.
Water service workers are due to strike on June 7th and 8th over being transferred from local authorities to Uisce Éireann.

Cllr Farrelly says if services are regionalised it would have a huge effect on the county, with response times to outages and bursts suffering, if crews have to travel from County Cork or Limerick.
He says Uisce Éireann needs to allay the concerns of local water crews and trade unions.
