In reply to a parliamentary question on 21 March the Minister, Deputy Coveney, stated "With regard to the 38 agglomerations identified in the current EU infringement process, Irish Water estimate that investment of €1bn in waste water treatment plants is necessary to ensure adequate treatment of waste water from these urban areas." My interpretation of this is it will cost €1 billion to ensure compliance. If we are talking about a figure of €620 million from 2017 to 2021, that is €124 million a year. I appreciate Mr. Grant will send us more detailed figures but I am worried if these figures are accurate-----
