Mr. Jerry Gleeson:

I am aware of this, yes. I agree, and I accept the Senator's point that there is probably a middle ground to be found there. From our perspective, we are still a ways off it. Maybe an approach that needs to be considered is subventions for people on fixed incomes. Perhaps that is the way our issues could be sorted. If we could reach a decent baseline and everybody could be sure that if their neighbours could not afford it, Waterways Ireland would have a method of looking after that and make sure that nobody needs to be evicted, then that middle ground could be found and we could make sure that there are supports in place for people who have difficulty paying. That would be our approach to that.
