Mr. Sean Laffey:

So the PAL switches wastewater treatment plants that they want us to focus on.

We hold very regular meetings on them with the EPA. Deputy Dillon knows from today's report that there is a lot of frustration in the EPA with the pace of delivery. We are pushing as hard as we can. There was an issue raised that we do not have plans. In some situations this is correct in so far as we know there are issues in particular plants but we have not yet decided what the solution is. For the EPA to accept that we have a plan, it wants to know what exactly we are going to do. Getting to a solution for a particular plant requires a large amount of study to make sure we land with the right solution. We have very good interaction.

The other thing to point out is that we have certificates of authorisation and discharge licences for all of our wastewater treatment plants. They tell us exactly what we are supposed to be doing.
