I ask for clarification on one point from Mr. Lynott. I asked him the reason and he said it was a question of resources. He talked about the organisation and that it has a deadline of the end of 2015 for licensing these plants. I am pretty familiar with our wastewater treatment plants in Mayo. The critical problem is there has been no investment in wastewater treatment plants. That is the bottom line. The local authorities had no funding from the Department to invest in the plants.
