Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge: Mr. Terence Coskeran
Mr. Terence Coskeran:
It does not make one iota of sense to me. The original plan suggested by the engineer was refused. However, when the council applied, local government funding was available to resolve this issue. It stated that it wanted the funding to do exactly what the Chairman has said in the sense that to connect to Hillview is the answer to this. It is only a few lengths of pipe away. As I said in my submission, rather than having two wastewater treatment plants side by side, this is the solution to the problem. My only agreement has ever been with Tipperary County Council. I have met all my obligations. It keeps telling me about my responsibilities. Surely responsibility is the two-way street. If I have done mine, where is its responsibility? I am left out on a limb. I am a prisoner in my own home. I cannot sell it because I cannot move on.
