    The admission by the EPA that municipal sewerage treatment plants had a poor level of performance and a ‘shocking’ non compliance rate refuted the attempts of those who sought to relate water quality problems to deficient septic tanks, says MEP Marian Harkin.

    Ms Harkin said: "What has been revealed in this report is that the threat to the quality of Ireland’s waters and the country’s ability to meet targets set under the EU Water Framework Directive comes largely from the state and not from septic tanks.
