Question 102: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he has any proof that anyone used the shell of a car as a septic tank; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that all the local public representatives in Connemara have denied any knowledge of this; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 101 and 102 together.

Contrary to the Deputy's assertion, I did not make any comment regarding Glór na Tuaithe. Earlier this year there were reports in the national and local media claiming that a politician (who was not named in the reports) had been informed by a constituent that the constituent had installed an old car as a septic tank when he built his house two decades previously. Neither I nor my Department have any further knowledge of the matter.
