General Scheme of the Water Environment (Abstractions) Bill 2020: Discussion

Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:

It is not in relation to individual registrations. It is the regulations in particular circumstances rather than individual registration applications.

On the appropriate assessment, we are very alive to our obligations on the environmental impact assessment, and appropriate assessment, because the State has had a difficulty trying to get that right. It is a tortuous area of law. That will have been to the fore of the mind of the Attorney General to make sure that we are in compliance with that.
