I welcome the Minister's of State reply. This issue must be addressed seriously and urgently. A timeline is important. The old age pensioner I mentioned cannot come up with €2,500 for this work and every house on his road is affected because they are all experiencing problems relating to their water and sewerage systems. Will the Minister of State come back to me as soon as possible? I understand he will have meetings and he said this is a priority but the issue has been going on a long time. There has been confusion and a lack of information. That is part of the reason we are where we are. I acknowledge that the Minister of State will do his best going forward but I hope he will start immediately.
