Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 am
Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)
I refer to the remediation work that will be required. That is a grave concern. There is no indication that regarding any of the remediation works that would be required the cost could be borne fully by the home owner but people in my area in rural north County Dublin will be charged for having their septic tank. They will not be charged for inspections, as the Minister stated, but they will be charged for all the remediation work while at the same time the Department, under the capital programme, has a massive scheme that will cost anything between €2.3 billion and €2.7 billion where he has allowed for costs-----
