Mr. Gerard O'Leary:

If I may reply to Deputy Mulherin's question. I referred earlier to 44 areas across the country which did not have water treatment. We are about to publish a report on urban wastewater but to be helpful to the committee I refer to the appendices to the report. Two towns in County Mayo, Belmullet and Killala, have no treatment. The others we have deemed to have failed are Balla, Belcarra, Foxford, Geesala and Louisburgh. Castlebar has nutrient reduction along with secondary treatment and this indicates that it has passed. I note Swinford. Westport has nutrient removal along with secondary treatment and it has passed.
