— and support charity as well. I accept that —
I am aware that people have a concern about what is in the outfall in those areas. We need to have more EDMs and more real-time monitoring and reporting of those. It is a key part of our waste water regulatory reform programme to see those EDMs rolled out more broadly by NI Water and to have that near-real-time reporting. That is one of the key issues. We hope to make further announcements around that in the time ahead. It is reliant upon NI Water's installing the equipment and working with us on the provision of data. I am very clear that people deserve to have that data so that they know when it is safe to bathe.
