I am disappointed with that response. We do not need the Minister's sympathy. I am seeking serious consideration of a request for a grant scheme, and let today be the beginning of that consideration. It has been done in the other areas I mentioned. The Minister said there is no difficulty with funding for the provision of safe drinking water in Galway city. There is little use in water being brought to a certain point if it cannot be brought from there to the household sink. What is the point? People will still have unsafe water because they cannot replace the lead pipes that bring water to their sinks. Will the Minister of State consider this and speak further to the Minister about it?
