They are working on Swords Road, Malahide Road and Griffith Avenue. The specifications to which the Minister refers are fine in virgin ground but where existing services are in place, best practice demands that new infrastructure should go underneath them at a depth of 2 m. I ask the Minister to find out from Dublin City Council whether it is best practice to put the pipe at 1 m beneath existing services.
