Mr. Jerry Grant:

I will address a number of the points made. We have published in full on our website a very detailed report on the Staleen incident. I acknowledge again the great impact it had on the people of Drogheda and east Meath for almost a week. It involved a massive failure of a critical single-point asset. I assure the Deputy that we have most certainly learned from this in a number of areas. We have done a lot of work to identify our critical single-point-of-failure assets to try to ensure we have the technical capability to fix them. We were badly caught out by a unique type of pipe to which the fittings did not fit correctly. We certainly did not realise in time just how serious the incident was and how long the work would take. We acknowledge that fully.
