There is no relief. We have some of the highest electricity prices in Europe and they will stay the same. I have only 30 seconds left and I thank the ESB but apologies, but time is against us.

I want to make it clear to Uisce Éireann that I do not blame it for all of the problems we have with our water infrastructure. This is a result of generations of Governments failing to invest and the decision to take water services out of the local authorities and semi-privatise them, which was what was attempted by previous Governments. Now, Uisce Éireann is here trying to solve it. It does not have the budget to deliver the amount of water and wastewater infrastructure required for the number of houses we need. I encourage more investment in Uisce Éireann.

I have one simple question. In January, there was bad water in Cork and manganese levels were high. When was the HSE notified?
