Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I note the Minister, Deputy Hogan, wrote to Deputy McGrath on 26 April in regard to the regulations for domestic waste water treatment. He said 165 submissions were received, that these were being assessed by the Department and that when they were assessed, he would finalise regulations which will give legal effect to the standards. He went on to say that he did not want to give the Deputy a specific date and said he expected to be in a position to finalise the regulations shortly and that at that stage, the relevant statutory instrument will be laid before each House of the Oireachtas in accordance with section 18 of the Water Services Act 2007.
