About This Podcast
The podcast that brings you inside the world of Ireland’s water services. Hosted by Orlaith Blaney, Uisce Éireann Communications and Corporate Affair Director, each episode shares real stories from the people working to deliver safe, reliable water and wastewater services across the country.
You’ll hear honest conversations about the everyday work, the big challenges, and the moments that matter. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at a service we all depend on but rarely think about.
Whether you're curious about where your water comes from or what happens after it goes down the drain, Uisce Matters makes it easy to understand and hard to take for granted.
