74. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the risk to public health caused by blockages on private drains which are no longer addressed as an environmental health hazard by the environmental health officers attached to the HSE, and which are not addressed by the councils or by Irish Water; and his views on whether this lacuna should be addressed by giving local authorities the power to serve a notice on all the houses connected to a blockage informing them that they have an obligation to address a potential public health hazard.
