I propose taking Questions Nos. 678 and 685 together.

A purchaser of a property may subsequently apply for grant aid once they meet the eligibility criteria set down in the Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems (Financial Assistance) Regulations 2013, a copy of which is available in the Oireachtas library. The criteria include the requirement that the treatment system serving the property was originally registered before the prescribed date of 1 February 2013. The only exception to this concerns properties which have a treatment system constructed or installed after 1 February 2013; in such cases the owners should register their systems within 90 days of the connection of the premises to the treatment system.
