General Scheme of the Water Environment (Abstractions) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Eimear Cotter:
In terms of licensing and scientific assessment, we have been able to secure resources to enable that analysis and the preparatory work to be put in place. On the enforcement side, however, there is still a gap in the resources adequate to enforce the licensing that will come following the issuing of primary and secondary licences. We are a bit away from that.
