Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

People will have the household charge of €100 and rural households will also have the €50 charge. The issue is not about the €50 or €20 for registration but rather the financial assessments that went with the legislation and were published by the Department. They categorically outline how this process could cost householders up to €17,000 to bring a septic tank up to standard. Those figures do not come from me but from the Minister's Department.

That is where the crux of the issue lies. That is all I have to say. I wish to make the point on criminality, which is staring people in the face if we go down this road.
