Mr. Fintan Towey:

I appreciate that, Deputy. I have been trying to outline that there is a programme in place that is guided by environmental and health considerations. Uisce Éireann has a major programme of investment to redress issues in relation to drinking water and wastewater, and through the rural water programme, in conjunction with the local authorities. We are trying to identify how to address the various infrastructure deficits that exist. They are in Gaeltacht areas, of course, but they are in other areas also.
