Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Tom Fleming (Kerry South, Independent)
There is a reference in the Bill to the courts. The appeals mechanism set out provides that appeals must be made to the District Court. Many people take great pride in the fact that they never had to attend a court in their lives. This would be disturbing for elderly people if they have to go to court.
If the financial means are available I would ask the Minister to consider some form of grant aid if major works are to be carried out.
