I propose to take Questions Nos. 156 to 158, inclusive, together.
The registration facilities, both on-line and paper-based, are currently being developed by the Local Government Management Agency and I expect that they will be available shortly. When registration commences, a reduced fee of €5 will be payable for the initial three months and a fee of €50 will apply thereafter. Ample time will be provided for householders to comply with the requirement to register their on-site waste water treatment systems. My Department will ensure that a comprehensive public information campaign, including details of how and when to register, will be carried out in advance. My Department is in consultation with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner to ensure that all data protection requirements are complied with. I have previously given a commitment to keep under consideration all options to provide financial support to house-holders whose systems are deemed, following inspection, to require substantial remediation or upgrading. Any such support will have regard to the overall budgetary situation and to the financial position of individual households.
