I am looking forward to that. I have two points. I am not sure if Mr. Byrne made the point earlier in relation to Cork. My ears pricked up when he spoke. I have huge concerns about the amount of lead piping in Cork city. Cork is a very old city, especially the city centre. We are losing 50% of our water. How much of the old pipe system is lead? Will the HSE or the EPA comment on the implications in relation to the health concerns. I think of my daughters and making their bottles at night. Did we realise the water we were giving our kids was coming through lead pipes? I think Mr. Byrne said that there was no plan yet for Cork? Can he clarify this? A lot has been done by Irish Water in Cork but Mr. Byrne spoke about the plan.
