Dr. Seán Ó hÓgáin:

Go raibh míle maith agaibh as an cuireadh a thabhairt dúinn. We have a PowerPoint presentation to bring committee members through a few ideas that will illustrate our points. We are from the school of engineering at Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Átha Cliath. We have worked on alternative wastewater and water treatments for the last number of years. We have worked in Asia, South America and Africa and the presentation highlights some of our projects on rainwater harvesting. We did a study for the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. We have worked on willow beds and reed beds for Fingal County Council and South Dublin County Council. We have also worked in Sierra Leone, Bolivia and parts of Latin America.
