On the last issue, I presume everything has been done appropriately. If the Deputy has a specific question on the issue, I will get back to him directly if he sends his query to me. The requirements in this regard are set out, but I do not have a direct role in the matter. However, I am intent on ensuring the review process for the service level agreements will be conducted in a comprehensive manner. A review process will take place after two years and seven years. A framework has been agreed and is in place. Each year an agreement must be put in place and issues identified will be dealt with in a suitable manner. Some issues will be unique to a particular local authority and Irish Water will engage on them. To date, I have no reason for concern in my dealings with Irish Water or the local authorities. I deal with both sides of the coin.

I have seen no concerns to date that would give rise to any form of alarm.
