Okay.
On the point that Uisce Éireann cannot work on an unauthorised development, Mr. Delaney referenced protests that subsequently saw local residents taken to court by the owner of Ryevale House. Is the Department happy that residents, locals, taxpayers or other individuals who have lived in the area all their lives are being brought to court by somebody it is paying significant amounts of money to operate at a site that is an unauthorised development? Is the Department comfortable with that? Mr. Delaney said water was not being provided because of the residents in question. Is he happy with the comment his Department has made in this regard?
