I have two brief questions. One relates to the reduction in lead standards. Maybe Irish Water could answer what percentage of the pipe network is currently lead. What is the timeframe it proposes to have the lead removed, regardless of the new standards coming in? I have a specific question for Mr. Page. He mentioned lakewater and algae bloom. We have had a number of issues with that in Vartry Reservoir over the last years. We do not seem to be able to get a handle on it. Algae bloom nearly brought the supply to Dublin to a stop this year. We are not dealing with the current issues that we are facing either. That may be a point of interest.
