The case I cited in Cork was not intended as a specific example. I picked two towns at random because I do not know the specific detail. I am not referring to specific design and build contracts or any specific case in Cork because I am not familiar with the facts. The only wastewater treatment facility with which I am familiar in Cork is one which I opened in Cork Harbour a few weeks ago. It is a €90 million wastewater treatment facility which will be owned, operated and managed by Irish Water. I do not wish to give the impression that I am giving examples, although I could do so, if members wish me to do so. I did not refer to towns in Cork with the intention of using them as specific examples.
