It is my turn to come back in again. To go back to the mapping tool that was discussed, could that be live updated, or updated as progress is made? I am looking at the map for the waste water treatment plants, where there is untreated disposal going on at the moment. A number of those plants are in an advanced stage of planning, funding and construction. Will those maps be updated as those plants improve over the next two to three years? Is there potential within that mapping system?
Dublin City Council is looking at the possibility of live monitoring bathing water quality. As such, is there potential in that mapping system for someone to consult and look at live updates on water quality in an area before considering going there to swim? The witnesses might briefly respond to that.
