I am just reading from the opening statement:

The legislation is intended to be graduated and proportionate. Small-scale abstractions do not generally pose a risk to the water environment and accordingly, there are no obligations placed on small-scale abstractors, other than abiding by General Binding Rules. Only larger abstractions and those posing a risk will have to apply for a licence.

Will Mr. Ó Coigligh explain the risk for the smaller abstractors, whereby they do not have to apply?
