Yes. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach.

I ran out of time initially. I only want to get a comment from both organisations. No doubt they will be aware Tirlán is fronting a water-quality project in the Slaney catchment area in collaboration with Teagasc and the local authority water programme of Carlow, Wicklow and Wexford. Is that the road to go? The processing industry has as much to lose here as anybody if this goes the wrong way. Should it have a greater role to play? Is that a good initiative? Will it work? Should there be more similar industry-led projects happening? They might comment on the project that is happening and the potential going forward.
