These included the North West Regional Supply in Roscommon, the Longford Central and Granard Supplies in Longford, and the Belturbet Supply in Cavan.

Supplies can be placed on the list based on four criteria including the presence of E-Coli bacteria in the water or excessive levels of chemicals.

Four of the supplies on the RAL, including Longford Central Supply, have been on there for over a year while 18 areas did not have planned work completion dates.
