The contractor is supplying it to farmers because there is a 50 m way leave. Irish Water will have done a deal with the farmers to put a pipe from Ballymore Eustace to Leixlip, for instance. It goes cross-country, but all that ground has to be reinstated because of the way leave. Whose responsibility is it? Is it the farmer on whose land the fertiliser is put on? The civil contractor has to reinstate all the ground, put in the pipe and do everything as a contact with Irish Water or otherwise. That is all. If it is an issue the witnesses have not come across, they can reply to me later. I have no problem waiting.
