Draft River Basin Management Plan for Ireland 2022-2027: Discussion
Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
Fortunately, I have a long list of questions. In the draft it plan it says 54% of water bodies are at risk. The river basin management plan set out that by 2027 we achieve "good" status. Is it reasonable, or do our guests have confidence, that we can attain good status for all those water bodies within five years? I think I remember the first river basin management plan and it certainly did not say 2027. Did it? The year just keeps pushing out. Am I right on that?
