General Scheme of the Water Environment (Abstractions) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Eimear Cotter:
Absolutely. With the data and evidence, as we have it at the moment, the analysis indicates that we are looking at a risk of approximately 6% overall for the State. We will refine, update and renew that information as it becomes available to us. Looking at it through that risk-based approach it allows us to dedicate our efforts to where the environmental risk is, which is our starting point for all considerations right through the board.
