The short answer is, "No." We have a water policy statement and Irish Water has to spend its money in accordance with that statement of strategy. However, separate to that, we are reviewing the needs of the rural water programme and what is happening in respect of rural water. As part of that, we are trying to anticipate where additional funding might be necessary. We can then appropriate that, say, for group water schemes. We can do it that way, if that is what the Deputy had in mind.
