General Scheme of the Water Environment (Abstractions) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Eimear Cotter:
Once registration happens, the next step is to get that information together and determine which of those registrations cause a significant abstraction and are above the threshold for the larger licensing regime. We examine the registrations and take in that information to give us a better understanding of where the pressures are from an abstraction point of view. That allows us to see which of those abstractions require licence in the medium range and at the higher end of those volumes.
