Mr. Tony Smyth:
The protocol is based on water levels rather than on forecasts of rainfall and they respond in a particular way to that. However, that is within the remit of the ESB and Waterways Ireland and until we have other evidence to say that it should be done differently, we are not in a position to make other suggestions.
