Yes. The question is around whether there is a potential liability to the taxpayer. The Cathaoirleach is right; PFAS are mostly used for firefighting foam and that is an historical issue. Will the DAA take up the responsibility or will there be an impact for the Department? That is the focus of my concern and I do not think that was answered, but maybe we did not put that across strongly enough to the Department.
