Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Nitrates Directive, Water Quality and Pollution: Discussion

Dr. Eimear Cotter:

For us, it comes back to enforcement and compliance with existing and forthcoming legislation, be it existing gaps in the regulations or what comes out after these deliberations. We know that compliance is an issue, and we want to see the full suite of tools used, from advice, support and training right through to enforcement. We want to see environmental legislation implemented and the measures underneath that taken up and used by the farmers because, ultimately, what we are looking at is what happens in the environment.
