Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage
12:00 pm
Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)
The Minister should look at the model that is being implemented North of the Border where the Government gives one free desludging per tank, per annum. Why can we not examine that model or the one in Scotland? Why must we always pass the cost on to consumers? Why must we consider this as a stealth tax, a way of taking money into the economy? Our people are more important than that, particularly those living in rural areas.
