Mr. Sean Laffey:
We are improving on that. We are setting up a team in the asset management function. As I said earlier we generally decide our rehabilitation of water mains at short notice because it is based on breakages and we have such a large network and our funds are limited. We are going to work with local authorities because, ultimately, if we identify a pipe that needs replacing or it comes to light that a pipe can be replaced at a lesser cost to both bodies and the taxpayer we can do that. What we are doing now is putting all of our projects on a GIS layer and sharing them with the local authorities throughout the country.
