It is something I have in mind. We reduced the number of boil water notices in areas that had been under boil water notices in recent years but there are some areas, like the area to which the Deputy refers, which have been under these restrictions. They are a very serious imposition on people and households in that regard. It is costly and it costs business.

At the moment, I am reviewing the Uisce Éireann strategic plan and its plan going forward. I also will seek additional capital funding for Uisce Éireann. It has never had a budget as large as it has now, but it needs more because we have legacy issues that need to be dealt with. We have some areas of the country - I see Deputy O’Sullivan is present as well - about which many Deputies have raised specific schemes, be that with regard to wastewater treatment or drinking water and the quality of that. I am reviewing the Uisce Éireann plan and it is something I am considering.
