Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

We now know that the cat is now out of the bag. The Deputy was prepared to bring in stringent standards for inspection and monitoring of septic tanks and he never told us about it and neither did he tell the people at all the public meetings he attended about all the various standards he was prepared to bring in. I am not prepared to bring in those standards.
