I am going to put a question to Ms Gannon, although I do not think she will have time to answer it. This session came about from the previous discussion we had on planning, planning permission and infrastructural deficits on some sites. The Construction Industry Federation, CIF, indicated that the removal of water and wastewater services from the remit of local authorities in 2017, together with the lack of funding forthcoming for Irish Water, means that significant infrastructural upgrades are required on many sites, and could add between €25,000 and €30,000 per unit. I will submit that as a written question and Ms Gannon might come back to me. I would like to know how Irish Water prioritises the supply of infrastructure to certain sites around the country.

I thank the witnesses for the answers to those questions. I call Senator Rebecca Moynihan.
