I am delighted to hear that. I cannot imagine how it would have panned out, given the rates in County Roscommon are ¤72 per square foot while across the River Shannon at Athlone they are ¤52.

I compliment the Minister on introducing the grant for the septics tanks which is a good initiative. Fair play to him. Is that an 80% grant of ¤4,000, or is it a maximum grant? Can a lesser grant be paid? What kind of money must be invested in upgrading a septic tank for a person to avail of the grant of ¤4,000?
