You might get them for us on an annual basis, just to see. Being prosecuted 28 times for wastewater is quite concerning. The EPA also stated that there were 1,080 short-duration or once-off incidents at wastewater treatment plants last year. A number of those were in my constituency of Wicklow. There was one really frustrating case at Corke Abbey, a pumping station that, unfortunately, I had been reporting over a three-day period at Christmas time before action was taken. The mechanisms within that pumping station failed. There was no alerting system activated or it failed, which is quite concerning.
