Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Jack Nolan:
There is because there is much more of a focus on nitrates as Deputy Leddin said earlier, as well as on water quality. The level of public acceptance has changed. People no longer accept pollution and so on. I think that local authorities will step up their enforcement and then it is open to them to act. There are fines of up to €500,000 if local authorities bring someone to court.
