The Deputy has raised a good question. The work of the EPA is ongoing. The public awareness campaign has been moderately successful. On the map to which I referred certain areas have been identified as having higher than normal levels or spikes. That is where the EPA has concentrated its campaign. Having said that, there is a necessity to intensify the campaign to create an organic awareness of this issue. People are aware that there is an issue, but it needs to get more into the mainstream of their consciousness. I have asked officials to consider ways in which we can ensure the EPA, working through my Department, will be able to do this.
