Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I am in favour of rural dwellers being treated the same as city dwellers, who do not face charges for dealing with sewage. This is a very important issue. The Minister will lay down regulations. It is quite obvious to me that very few people will put their neck into the noose by registering for the septic tank charges. When one goes down that road one is inviting an inspection and the fact that one's septic tank may not be up to the standard being laid down by the Minister.
