Mr. Martin O'Meara:

I fully agree with that. In the case of sea swimming, the reports produced are the responsibility of the EPA so it is something we would have to discuss with it to check its capabilities or whether it has the resources to carry out the testing referred to by the Chairman.

Especially in the context of the year we have just had, when these amenities were utilised more than they normally would be by citizens in coastal communities who live within 5 km of them, it is certainly something we should consider.
