Ms Maria Graham:

I will answer that question. The full cost of the metering programme was reflected in the €5.5 billion. Irish Water indicated to us that there was going to be a saving on that. One of the suggestions for the use of that saving was for capital investment to support housing and water services that are required for housing, given the current priorities in the housing sector. The actual re-prioritisation of that is a matter for the regulator and for Irish Water. It has been reprofiled by Irish Water back into its capital programme and will be reflected, as I understand it, in the 2017 or 2018-----
