Dr. Eimear Cotter:

We see a need for both. We must implement what is there already. Given that fact that nutrient levels are increasing and the particular issues we are seeing in the south, south east and east of the country, we will need the full suite of measures as proposed under the fifth nitrates action programme. As we outlined in the opening statement, with full implementation of those measures – that is the key bit – we do need that level of ambition built in to deal with these trends to bring the status of our water values back to where they should be.
