The purpose of the scheme is to enhance water quality, prevent pollution and prevent polluting the Deenagh River and the beautiful lakes of Killarney with algae blue. The full capacity of this scheme, which is paid for by public money, will not be realised if all the residents do not connect to the scheme. I would ask the Taoiseach to talk to Irish Water about this. There is €9 million. Surely another couple of hundred thousand euro that it is trying to get from the residents is not practical.
