Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Let us suppose there is a problem with a septic tank put in place in 1965. Deputy Stanley was interested to know whether this would have to comply with the 2009 standards and the EPA code. The answer is "No". The answer is that it will be seen in the regulations the Minister will publish how we are to overcome that and deal with it.
