I thank the witnesses from Uisce Éireann and ESB Networks for being here today. I endorse what the Chair said about the work done by staff of both organisations during the recent storm and previous storms and extreme weather events. Their work is much appreciated. Please pass on our thanks to the staff. I will start with Uisce Éireann. The organisation's strategic funding plan for 2025-29 sets out an overall amount of €16.9 billion. This was based on the old Housing for All targets. Will Mr. Gleeson clarify exactly how much is needed for that period in relation to the targets for housing contained in the programme for Government? I know Housing for All is to be updated in the coming months. How much does Mr. Gleeson estimate is required in the new capital fund for the period 2025 to 2029?
