Question 474: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if grant aid will be made available in respect of home owners that will be requested following on from inspections, to upgrade or replace their septic tanks and who will not be able to afford to carry out these works themselves; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have stated on a number of occasions that all options to provide financial support to householders whose systems are deemed, following inspection, to require substantial remediation or upgrading will be kept under review. A decision on the matter will not be possible until inspections are underway and the extent of the problems and costs of remediation are clearer. In any case, any financial support will have regard to the overall budgetary situation and to the financial position of the individual households concerned.
