It is unusual for us to get requests for people to come into the Public Gallery for the public accounts committee. There were quite a lot of people looking to come in today. It suggests there is less access in respect of a collaborative approach for people who live or have businesses on the canals. That speaks to a governance issue here. I just wanted to make that point.

Regarding responsibility, who owns the Grand Canal Dock itself and the Liffey catchment? Who has responsibility for it and what is the relationship between, for example, the ESB and Waterways Ireland in that location?
