Mr. Sean Laffey:

I want to put that on record. A lot of the time when issues arise, it is not Uisce Éireann. The issues are well understood but are very complicated to overcome. In some cases, we cannot meet the timelines because of other particular issues.

The third comment I would make is that the future of the water supply for the Drogheda area, which is dependent on Stalleen and Cavan Hill, is dependent on the water supply from the Shannon going across to the greater Dublin area, so we can stop taking water from Stalleen and Cavan Hill and feeding it to Dublin and we can direct it towards Dundalk and Drogheda.
