I request that Irish Water set out a very clear timeline for all of its wastewater treatment plants and drinking water plants. What action is required to bring them up to the standard for discharge and drinking water? What is the funding requirement and what are the timelines? Those need to be set out. It will help us comply with the water framework directive and make our river basin management all the more easy to implement. The Minister of State is the right Minister for the job. I know that he has a deep understanding of water quality and aquatic ecology and I thank him for the work he and his Department officials have done so far.
