Within that, there is capital investment to upgrade drinking water and to upgrade the wastewater treatment plants. I believe last year's spending on the upgrading of plants and the distribution network for wastewater was €240 million or €250 million. Of the increased overall capital expenditure for this year, is an increased portion going into wastewater treatment? I am asking because of the European Court of Justice judgment and the work the Department and Irish Water are trying to do to ensure the State does not get fined. What is the increase to meet those key commitments?
