Mr. Kevin Kelly:

In the first instance, they generally develop from the perspective that Housing for All developments will be serviced. In an overall context, we have an opportunity to feed into Irish Water's capital programme. Obviously, one of its commitments was in terms of the environmental issues in dealing with locations where there is untreated or insufficiently treated sewage going into our watercourses. There is a limited capacity now to get extensions or new developments, especially within a short period.

The rural water programme is still within our gift. We develop a programme for the extensions of schemes and the enhancement of schemes on an ongoing basis under that heading.
