He might furnish them as to what the collection rate is for each of those years.

I want to turn to a final issue, that is, algae blooms and the impact they have on lakes across the State. The situation in Lough Neagh in the North has been widely aired; that environmental disaster that has unfolded up there. That was ten years in the making and there were systemic failures to address many of the warning signs over the previous ten years.

In my constituency of Wicklow, a number of lakes, including Blessington and Vartry, are hugely important lakes because they provide water not just for Wicklow but also large areas within Dublin. Two of those lakes have had what I can only describe as fairly considerable and serious algae blooms over the past number of years. What role or responsibility does IFI have in the monitoring of algae blooms? What preventative action has been taken or is being taken, and not just in terms of those two, because I know there are other very serious areas of concern also?
