James Geoghegan (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael)

It is an eye-watering figure. Mr. Laffey said maybe some of the non-domestic load use will be pre-treated to reduce it. A big issue is the effluent and untreated sewage that goes into Dublin Bay. It is not just from the treatment plant; adjacent to it is an open pipe that comes from Ailesbury Park and St. Alban's Park. I do not know how familiar Mr. Laffey is with that. It is a very localised area but this has plagued people living in the area for a long time. It is a UNESCO biosphere. It has had no-swim notices for the last six or seven years in a row. What can Irish Water do about those notices and the environmental issues arising in Dublin Bay from the pipes going in from an estate with storm water outflow and from the treatment plant itself?
