I have one final question. The Minister of State has indicated an interest in responding and we do not know if he will present for the entire debate.

Health and safety is also an issue, which has not been resolved in the service level agreement. Who has responsibility for it? There will be a service level agreement between Irish Water and the local authority, which will have to repair burst pipes, etc. If there was a fatality, which often happens in situations like this, will Irish Water or the local authority address this? These are important logistical issues.
