I thank Mr. Gleeson. We concentrate a lot on supplies and the use of water. Do any of our guests see any reasonable and practical use of localised water storage or grey water harvesting systems in houses as we deal with a finite supply that is under great demand in terms of sustainability management? Do Irish Water or the Department have a view on that? Is it a practical solution? Many people suggest storing and harvesting water. Every drop of water that comes into houses from the public water supply, whether it is used for washing clothes, showering or to flush toilets, is high-quality drinking water.
