The CER presented a report to the Oireachtas water committee. We had a big debate on what constituted average usage, per-person usage and household usage. It provided us with a table and came up with an average figure which was broadly equivalent to a household of 2.6 or 2.7. I am just trying to understand how an average total household consumption figure presented previously by the CER and which is roughly equivalent to household usage for a family of 2.6 can now become roughly equivalent to usage for a household of four.
