Water analysis, and lead amount by place

"A new report on lead contamination of the city's water supply has revealed extremely high levels of lead are present in pipes all over the city. "

Because of this I would like to test some water for lead and ideally for other pollutants. Is there a lab in Galway that would do it?

Also, has anyone seen the report which the papers mention? I would really want to know which areas are affected in what way, but the papers only list the worst. I live in Moycullen but apparently out supply is somehow linked to the city (Knocknacarra); a friend lives in Dangan; and perhaps there is something in the report about these areas, whether good or bad?

Have you looked at the local authorities' websites?
