Charlie McConalogue (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

The Minister has only published a consultation paper on the Water Services (Amendment) Act with regard to the regulations that will apply for the inspection of septic tanks. During the week the Department appears to have been able to identify those households which will be targeted for inspection this year. A large number of homes in Donegal have already been targeted for inspection. However, the Government has been unable to specify what regulations these homes must comply with. Will the Minister provide an update? Since the Department is capable of publishing a list of those targeted, when will people be clear about what regulations they will be inspected under?
