Uisce Éireann staff will be familiar with these and I will not go into the exact detail of where this particular case is located but I ask about it because I would consider this a straightforward case for Uisce Éireann to deal with. It is a former public house that had wastewater and water connections in place. It is being converted into ten residential units under the repair and lease scheme. It requires seven water and wastewater connections. It is a standard brownfield city centre site that has these in place. An application was made on 17 October and it was acknowledged on 1 November saying that it would be 16 weeks. It was followed up on 6 March. I got involved in it at the start of April and followed it up. I got a response on 2 May that it was undergoing a final review. A final connection offer was issued on 20 May. That is 31 weeks. Is that acceptable?
