Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Nitrates Directive, Water Quality and Pollution: Discussion
Eugene Murphy (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I will comment very briefly on herbicide contamination because that is vital in terms of what they are doing in group water schemes. It seems to be a very interesting scheme. The reason I am saying that is that sometimes rural communities and farmers probably feel that they perhaps get unfair coverage or do not get credit for what they are doing. This is really something that should be developed for the politicians perhaps to suggest more engagement. I accept that it is not the EPA's job to do that. Herbicide contamination is going to become a big issue, however. I acknowledge that. Is the EPA aware of those schemes?
