I will ask Uisce Éireann to investigate that. The tankering of sewerage is unacceptable in this day and age. We have a way forward here in terms of the longer-term plan. I mentioned the 2025-29 investment cycle in my response to Deputy Cairns. That will be critically important. We took questions from Deputy Connolly last night on housing development in Galway. This issue will hinder housing development unless we have the adequate infrastructure that is future-proofed and meets the requirements of what will be a recast of the urban wastewater treatment directive. There are quite significant opportunities and challenges here and it is critically important that we get them right.
