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

Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:

Yes. There are plenty of studies behind it but we will come back to the committee on that. Generally, we said that when the abstractions Bill comes into force and we get more knowledge about the types of abstractions and the quantity of water being abstracted nationwide, our knowledge base will improve and that will help with the implementation of the legislation.

On public consultation, is the Deputy referring to the general scheme of the Bill?
