Mr. Seán Laffey:

It is one of the matters we have discussed with our parent Department and the Government. It is one of the suggestions we are putting forward to try to create capacity faster. We will need to look at what emission limit values from the treatment plants we think we would have to work to and we have to get that agreed. We will also have to talk to our supply chain, which Ms O'Dwyer manages, to see if it would be prepared to step up and start manufacturing these types of module and so on. It is in its infancy.

We must also come up with our own standardised design. The good thing about these standardised designs is that, if a developer wants to put in its own wastewater treatment plant, puts one of our standard units in and gets a good water body to discharge to, we would certainly be open to taking that wastewater treatment plant directly into public ownership. We would not have the legacy of DPIs we have at present.
