Septic tank registration a con job, says TD McGrath

Homeowners in rural Ireland are not complying with a ministerial directive to register septic tanks, according to a TD who called the process “a con job”.

South Tipperary Independent TD Mattie McGrath said most rural residents were sceptical about the purpose of the registration fee.

His comments came as it emerged only 6% of households affected by the directive have registered their septic tanks.
