We are completely opposed to the fee. However, we agree with concept of a registration system. Why not introduce such a system? If the Bill is purely related to protecting the environment and water supplies, why is there a need for a €50 registration feel? Why is it not possible to introduce the registration process and use a system of grants to bring matters up to standard? If we are going to be fined by Europe, then we will save money in the long term. Why is it necessary to have a registration fee?
