“We are now in a crazy situation where five members of the eight-man board are temporary. What does this say about the long-term commitment of the Minister towards the delivery of services to the people of Northern Ireland?
“Where are the long-term plans for the delivery of water services? Clearly there is a total lack of understanding for the need for a fully functioning board that has its feet firmly on the ground and is capable of shaping the water service for the future.
“I can only offer my sympathy to anyone who is coming in on a temporary basis to sort out a complete mess which is worsening by the day. I fear that Mr White will be devoting all his time to managing a crisis which limps from day to day. He will, in effect,t be rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
“Northern Ireland Water needs long-term stability, a sense of direction and a board of directors that are prepared to tackle the issues and sort out those who have contributed to the mess the company is currently in. Only in these circumstances can the public regain confidence and without ministerial direction that is not going to happen.”
