Ms Maria O'Dwyer:

In everything we do, we are being as transparent as possible.with our investment plans. We go through a public consultation in respect of our plans on a five-year basis. We will be consulting, probably later this summer, on our next revenue control plan, but the CRU then goes to a further public consultation on that plan. We are open to as much public engagement as possible in respect of our plans. Ultimately, we are in the business of providing water services in areas where the planning authority has deemed that development is necessary to support communities throughout the country.
