Brian Stanley (Laois-Offaly, Sinn Fein)

I support the amendment. Once a septic is registered it is on file in hard copy and on the computer system. If a house has a septic tank there should not be a need to re-register in five years. The suspicion is that it leaves the way open for additional charges to be imposed in the future. While I recognise that it has been removed from the Bill for now, and I welcome the fact that currently there is no registration fee, the fact that the person must re-register every five years creates a sense of fear.

I realise time is short but I have some questions for the Minister.
