Mr. Sean Laffey:
We have done a lot of work. The Deputy is correct. There are 539 DPI facilities outstanding across the country. Where local authorities are currently stepping in to assist local communities in running them, we will certainly continue that service once we fully take over water services. We have a memorandum of understanding with the Department, and we have a methodology in place. We have a very good picture of DPIs around the country, and in fact we have dealt with some of them by connecting them directly into our networks.
