We will get there yet. When you connect up to the Shannon, we will go. Despite this, I hear worries Uisce Éireann will not be able to support permission for new houses in Dublin because of the limitation. That is probably waiting on some of the water from the Shannon. The plant is a major infrastructural project affecting 40% of the country. A visit will be well worth our while. I suggest we do this during our committee slot this time next week. I will ask people to let the secretariat know by next Tuesday if they are available to attend. We can discuss transport. I envisage driving out. In theory, the Oireachtas can arrange transport if we need it. We will ask you to come back to the secretariat by Tuesday morning. If we have to arrange transport, we will. It will be just for the two-hour slot. This is with Uisce Éireann senior management. I will suggest the first hour be a tour of the plant and the second a sit-down with management in a meeting room to go through the issues we have as regards water services, not just at Poolbeg, but in other areas as well. It will be an open agenda. It will not be a formal committee meeting because that has to happen here. The meeting will be fully recorded and we can incorporate it into our work even though technically it is not a committee meeting. It is a visit.
