KITT SAYS GALWAY WORKERS SHOULD FIT LOCAL WATER METERS

Date Published: 07-Jun-2011

Galway East Fianna Fáil Deputy Micheál Kitt is calling on the Government to ensure local workers are given jobs installing water meters in Galway homes.

Environment minister Phil Hogan has announced that the roll out of water meters will begin next year.

Deputy Kitt says a number of people have recently taken courses on fitting water meters and they're ready to be employed.

He's calling on Minister Hogan to award the contracts locally rather than nationally.
