My final question relates to a very local issue but one that is local to all of us. It concerns lampposts throughout the country. Some of them are owned by the ESB, I understand, while others are owned by local authorities. Do not ask me how or why that happened but that is the case, according to a reply I received to a parliamentary question. How do we go about getting one of them replaced? The council will automatically direct queries to the ESB, but I have got responses from the ESB stating that some of the lampposts are owned not by it but by the councils. How can this conundrum be resolved and can we resolve it at a meeting of this committee?
