No, it is that by the time we get to 2021, we will be saving €70 million a year by having brought forward the SLA.

With regard to the new group schemes, and to respond to Senator Murnane O'Connor, basic funding grants of up to 85% of the costs subject to a maximum grant of €7,650 per house are available for new group water schemes, which is a cost of €9,000 per scheme. This is a supplemental grant subject to departmental approval.
