Mr. Noel Byrne:

From the EPA's perspective in our priority areas, directive compliance is one of the number one issues we want to achieve. We highlighted that from our perspective. We want work done in this space. Indeed, Ringsend is going to be a game-changer in that space. Once we get to 2025 and we see 40% of the load achieving compliance, that will be a very good day for Ireland to achieve that. Challenges will remain around the collection systems. There are a number of collection systems involved in that infringement, which will prove to be big challenges, particularly around Cork city and similar places, which will require significant investment. At the moment, Irish Water are looking at what needs to be done in Cork city under drainage area plans, but once they establish what needs to be done, they will have to see about putting a plan in place to address that.
