I thank the witnesses for being here today. To Uisce Éireann, there are ten houses in Carrignavar village in County Cork built and ready for use. Cork County Council wants to buy them but they have not been connected to wastewater for the past ten years. The same village has a proposed new special school going into the old primary school. It is supposed to happen this year if not next year. The houses are built. I have a photograph of me standing outside them. The houses have been built for ten years and they cannot be connected. Do the witnesses have an answer about Carrignavar? How many houses have been built across the State that cannot be used because they cannot get a connection to water and wastewater?
