Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I welcome the proactive approach of the Minister to accept suggestions made by the Opposition. I regret that his colleague, Deputy Phil Hogan, is not as interactive as Deputy Rabbitte. If he was, we would have resolved the issue of septic tanks long ago. I compliment the Minister and thank him. I accept amendment No. 6 and I will withdraw amendments Nos. 4 and 5. I want to get back to the Committee Stage of the Water Services (Amendment) Bill. I support the Minister in respect of amendment No. 6.
