I might tease that out a little bit more.

I return to the EPA on enforcement. Another issue has arisen in Bonmahon, County Waterford. I have a report open in front of me from one of the EPA inspectors from April of this year. It was prepared by Dr. John Feehan, on the agglomeration in Bonmahon, of which there are three elements. From the recommendations made in this report, clearly there are ongoing issues in the area. It is very close to a beach and it affects the streams upriver. I have been liaising with Irish Water on this with the intention of getting it onto the small towns and villages growth programme and-or another development. How does something go from a report in April, which clearly identifies serious deficiencies in the area, to getting actioned, from the agency's perspective?
