Absolutely. I share the Minister's concern about Dublin Bay. He is correct that a capital programme by Irish Water is under way. I am wondering about the funding from the Minister's Department, particularly for the EPA, Waterways Ireland and so on. He might revert to me after the meeting to emphasise the issue. Local authorities do fantastic work monitoring river water quality but it is important that at every turn we try to prevent those misconnections and that grey water running into the rivers. That will also prevent from happening what the Minister described happening in Dublin Bay.
