I have two more quick questions and the witnesses can come back to me at a later stage. Is there any update on the transition to the single utility? How many staff have transitioned across from the local authorities to Uisce Éireann? Are there any other outstanding issues in that regard?

An issue I raised previously is whether the plan is to have some continued footprint of other service workers in the local authorities, albeit Uisce Eireann staff are operating depots that were previously council depots or are utilising offices in councils. Perhaps the witnesses could give us the shape of that.

The witnesses may or may not have a comment to make on the Housing Commission's report and the talk of trying to align the capital programmes of the providers of critical infrastructure, including Uisce Éireann, the development plans and public and private residential development. Is that something Uisce Eireann has started to look at? Have the witnesses any views on that?
