State body who will test household drinking water quality

Hello, some time ago a neighbour told me she sent household water samples off to a state testing centre in Dublin but I can't recall where it was. For some reason I though it was in Dublin 2 - could you please advise or send a link as I have not been able to find it myself (only found private companies).

Many thanks
Roy

Hi onekeano, 

Thanks for your query.

You can find more information on water quality here: https://www.water.ie/water-supply/water-quality/

Hi onekeano, 

You can find a list of accredited testing facilities at: http://www.inab.ie/Directory-of-Accredited-Bodies/Laboratory-Accreditation/Testing/

There is also some information regarding lead piping available on our website: https://www.water.ie/projects-plans/lead-mitigation-plan/faqs/ 

This website may also provide some relevant information: http://www.housing.gov.ie/water/water-quality/water

However, there are no state bodies responsible for the testing or the sampling of water on the private side of a property. 

I hope this helps, if you have any further queries, please ask and I'll be happy to help. 

Thanks, 
Daniel
