I move amendment No. 24:

In page 6, to delete lines 41 to 45 and substitute the following:

"(11) An authorised person appointed by a Water Services Authority may not have the authority to request the owner of a premises connected to a domestic waste water treatment system to produce a valid certificate of registration in respect of the system.".

This amendment relates to the powers of the inspector to carry out his or her duties. These inspectors should be public servants and should come from the local authorities or the Environmental Protection Agency.
