Mr. Sean Laffey:
In terms of numbers, as I said this morning, 91% of our plants are compliant with the urban wastewater treatment directive. By volume this is approximately 40% of the sewage that we treat. Ringsend on any given day accounts for 40% to 45% of the volume of sewage that we treat. Ringsend, after an investment of approximately €550 million, will be compliant with the urban wastewater treatment directive again this year.
