Dr. Seán Ó hÓgáin:

I take the Deputy's point that within the culture of Ireland - indeed, this committee is responsible for culture - dry toilets have a particular association with poverty and with smells. Many people remember toilets in national schools down the country and in Dublin that were health hazards.

There is a cultural thing about dry toilets. We would disagree on compost toilets. I see a role for them. Have Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council and South Dublin County Council brought in a policy that all new toilets must be dual-flush?
