Ms Livingstone mentioned the quality of the water. Perhaps she will expand on that. How clean is it? She also referred to pollution. What are the main problems in that regard? On houseboats, what would be the best model for that? Everyone is always interested in invasive species. Are there new ones every year? One of the issues for anglers is the removal of pike from many of the loughs. Would she have concerns about that? One thing that struck me, as somebody who uses the Luas in Dublin, is the removal of the canal at Fatima Mansions. On reflection, was it a major mistake? There is a gap for joining up the canals. Does Ms Livingstone have those problems in her work? We can all understand the ageing and historical estate. How crucial is it that it is maintained? She might wish to refer back to us on that area with regard to support from the committee. If she cannot respond today regarding what she wants this committee to do I ask her to write to us and we will do it as part of this report.
