Mr. Denis Holland:

There is correspondence, which I think is set out in one of the appendices to the opening statement, relating to the sequence of events governing the application submitted on the taking in charge of Rocksprings. As the chief executive said, it is quite clear from the memorandum of understanding, and from early correspondence from Irish Water to all local authorities that the involvement of Irish Water is critical where there are water services within an estate. We are not in a position to take in charge an estate and complete the statutory process unless Irish Water has been satisfied in relation to the condition to the water services within it. That is fine when there are direct connections to water supply and waste water services but where there is a DPI as there is in Rocksprings, a difficulty arises in relation to the resolution of that.
