Déanfaidh mé mo dhícheall freagra a thabairt ar na tuairimí sin. Maidir leis an méid adúirt an Seanadóir Ó Domhnaill, I will try to clarify the issue. Private infrastructure is not mentioned in the Bill. It is only infrastructure for which a local authority is accountable - in other words, water or sewerage infrastructure that a local authority is in charge of or owns. Anything outside of this is not the responsibility of the local authority or Irish Water. Unfinished estates are those on a list deemed to be unfinished according to particular criteria, some of which Senator Ó Clochartaigh enumerated. I believe there are three separate lists, but I do not have the details with me. The Minister of State, Deputy O'Sullivan, is dealing with these. If it is helpful I will get a list of them before Thursday and perhaps Senator Ó Clochartaigh can help me by providing me with a list of particular estates in his constituency and I will be happy to get an answer on them. I want to be as transparent as I can with my answers. There is no issue about Johnny Murphy in an estate that has not been taken in charge ringing Irish Water about a matter. The service level agreement is between the local authority and Uisce Éireann.
