Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

Sin go díreach an pointe céanna a bhí mé féin ag dul a dhéanamh faoin treoir a bheidh ag teacht ó thaobh an creitéir a bheidh á leagadh síos ar gach dabhach séarachais nach cuid de scéim é ó thaobh na hoibre atá an Roinn a lorg chun an dabhach a thabhairt suas go dtí cibé caighdeán a leagfar síos. Cuireann sé iontas orm nach bhfuil na treoirlínte foilsithe agus nach bhfuil eolas ar bith againn sa Seanad ar na treoirlínte sin a bhaineann leis an reachtaíocht. Sin bun agus barr an scéil. In respect of what Senator Ó Clochartaigh has said, I do not mean to keep harping back to Cavan County Council which is adopting 1996 guidelines. For anybody who did not read that section and our amendment fully, part of the section reads:

Each water services authority shall establish and maintain a register of domestic waste water treatment systems situated within its functional area (in this Part referred to as a 'register of domestic waste water treatment systems').

That should apply except for County Cavan which has that system in place. It is a matter then for Cavan County Council to reduce the €50 registration fee which the Government wants to introduce. The councillors in Cavan, the people who voted for some of the Fine Gael and Labour Members on the Government benches - might not try to redue the fee to €50.
