Ms Margaret Attridge:

I know Deputy O'Sullivan has had updates from our teams on progressing the business case but we have a governance process to go through and we are going through it at the moment. We have done initial scoping and are now preparing the preliminary business case, which is looking at the different options to resolve the problem. We are considering whether we can upgrade the existing facility and put in some sort of reed-bed treatment such that we can discharge to the local stream, which does not have much capacity, or whether we have to pipe into the Clonakilty system or build a new facility on adjacent land which is privately owned. It is not a quick solution. Our preliminary business case is looking at the different options and costing those out. Once we have that done, it becomes a question of whether we can get it on a programme. We are at a stage where we are looking at the options. We will then be able to consider it and get it on a programme. We are progressing it through the preliminary business case at the moment.
