I am conscious of time and having to speak to everybody else.
I visited Ballymore Eustace, for example, and am very conscious of the strategic importance - in terms of national security - of such a facility. While there is fantastic work being done there by the staff, it has to be said that it is a very low-security environment. From a risk management perspective, has there been any assessment in terms of a terrorist attack? A person could essentially pollute 40% of Dublin's water supply by walking onto a site that has low level security. Is that something the EPA or the HSE has a role or involvement in or are they aware of anything at a more strategic level?
