I can provide the Deputy with a table of inspections per county. I do not have it to hand. These are important grants. There are three available. The national inspection grant is available to householders who failed an inspection carried out by a local authority under the national inspection plan and received an advisory notice. The priority area for action grant is available to a householder where the domestic wastewater system is situated in a prioritised area for action as identified under the river basin plan. We will be expanding that with the new plan. The high-status objective catchment area grant is available to householders where the domestic wastewater treatment system is situated in high-status objective catchment areas, again as identified in the river basin management plan.
The figures I have come from the EPA and so are accurate. It is important that if a householder's system has failed, he or she should avail of these grants.
