The issue I wish to raise is connected to that raised by Senator O'Neill. I ask that the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government would extend such a grant to people living in rural areas for single rural houses. If such a grant were available it would mean major benefits for rural water and it would also create much needed jobs in the manufacture and installation of septic tanks and other such equipment. I would welcome such a development.
