I would be concerned if what Deputy Kirk stated was not a local problem. My understanding is the service level agreements and agreements generally in place between local authorities and Irish Water are working well. There may well be a particular issue with the Deputy's local authority, and I will be glad to examine it, but generally speaking they are working well. The transition is essential to the success of the project because the engineering people in the local authorities in particular are central to this. A good deal of the corporate memory is upstairs, reposing in the heads of many of the engineers who have been dealing with it. I will certainly be glad to examine the issue.
