Public Accounts Committee
2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine
9:00 am
Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
It would probably be an issue for Irish Water but if it was to be spread on agricultural land, we would have a role in determining whether that is permissible. I am not aware of it happening but the issue certainly came up a few years ago in the context of the treatment of sewage. At the time, although my memory of this might be imperfect, we looked at quality assurance schemes and so on but felt that it was not consistent with our objectives under quality assurance.
