Mr. John McCarthy:
We have information on registrations. The latest information indicates that there were 1.329 million responses to the Irish Water campaign, of whom 1.054 million are customers. The balance of respondents were clarifying that they were not customers because they have septic tanks or are on group schemes. The 1.054 million customers are approximately 70% of the expected customer base of 1.5 million households.
