Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed)
7:00 pm
Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
What is the hurry? A serious point of fundamental equity is being debated. The Minister is introducing a new inequity between urban and rural people. He is the one who is creating the urban/rural divide because he is saying that anyone who lives in septic tank land will have to pay the €50 registration charge and anyone who lives in urban land will not. I agree with Deputy Mitchell. It is wrong to create these urban/rural divides.
