Just one second. Uisce Éireann brought in private contractors when Cork City Council had excellent water workers who could have done the job. These contractors were brought in. Are they going to be held liable? Are they, in fact, going to be sued for the damage they have done in Cork city and the costs that will be accrued by Uisce Éireann and the taxpayers of this country? Equally, what about all the damage done to people's washing machines, dryers, showers and kettles? Where is the compensation for these people? Who is responsible? Who is going to answer my constituents' questions?
