Ms Karen Trant:

It brings us back to the purpose of the report from the ESB, which is for us to be able to look at where it is spending the money and where these programmes are. We will not necessarily challenge it with regard to its environmental outcomes. It stated in the report that it is in substantial compliance. We would take that at face value. We would have assumed that it would have reported to the EPA. The report states that it reports on other areas, including polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs.
