Mr. Éanna Rowe:

We had a series of consultations with Uisce Éireann on the water abstraction. For the record, the abstraction will be 4 m3 per second. At the moment 10 m3 per second are sent by the ESB down the old course of the Shannon every day. When Ardnacrusha is in operation one turbine takes 100 m3 per second.
