I thank the Chair for facilitating me. I will understandably, given that I am from Gorey, focus on recent events. I am grateful to Ms Attridge and the team who met with me and local councillors in the area on Monday. What has happened has been well publicised. It is critical that we restore trust in the public water system. Trust has clearly been damaged, not just among elected representatives but more seriously among the wider public. I have a number of questions about the timeframe from here. I appreciate that Irish Water has agreed to meet with me and local councillors once the information becomes available. We are currently awaiting a factual report from Wexford County Council and Irish Water about what happened. A number of people have to be interviewed and the detail gone over. I appreciate that a number of things have to come together. Have we an indication of when the completed report by Irish Water and Wexford County Council will be ready and made publicly available?
