Ms Margaret Attridge:

I will take that. On the Murrough pumping station, since quarter 1 of 2025, we have been surveying that just to track the odour levels at the treatment plant. The plant is operating within the original design capacity. However, there are upgrade works that can be done to improve it. As regards those upgrade works, following the survey, we have identified the capability of the pumping station to deal with it. Those upgrade works will commence in quarter 1 of 2026 for the Murrough. For Greystones, what was needed there was just some upgrade works, that is, the capacity is okay but it just needed some maintenance works carried out. Some of that work has been progressed and we have seen a notable reduction in odours for quarter 2 and quarter 3 in 2025. We will continue to monitor it. We are also working back through the network. Our source control team is looking at what is discharging into the network that is contributing to the odours.
