In its plan of development obviously Irish Water will need to have due regard for water supplies that need to be upgraded. A number of those supplies have been identified already. I am not saying they are necessarily from cryptosporidium, but last year a number of boil notices had to be issued in cases where the EPA felt there was an issue with water quality. I am confident that no issue arises in terms of the capacity of Irish Water to have adequate funds to deal with any such issues that might arise.
