I know. I am not saying that. I have raised this. I have been chasing this for two or three months. A meeting was held in the civic offices in Dungarvan with the four parties. Uisce Éireann had a senior person there, obviously under Ms Attridge's level, and subsequently they came back and said that because the estate had not been taken in charge, Uisce Éireann was not willing to contribute one quarter of the cost. Of course the estate is not taken in charge but there is a pumping station that is an issue because it is potentially discharging into the estuary in Dungarvan. For minimal cost, where there are two developers already at play on the site and the local authority, everyone is willing to play ball except Uisce Éireann. I put it to the witnesses here because it is a sensible approach where four players are at the table.
