There was a lot of indulgence. On wastewater treatment, the Deputy has made a very valid point, in particular regarding County Galway. One of the most deplorable situations I have seen is in County Galway. The applications currently with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage are for sewerage schemes in towns like Craughwell. Smaller villages like Caltra, Castleblakeney and Kilconnell, which have raw sewage running down their main streets, are not being considered for schemes. In Creggs, a site has been provided by the community, but it will never see a wastewater treatment facility under the current regime. This is an issue that needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency.
