Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion
Dr. Michelle Minihan:
Each of those pesticide exceedances, when notified to the EPA, is also the subject of consultation with the HSE. None of those exceedances has been deemed to pose a risk to public health on the basis of the levels found. Notwithstanding that, I take the Senator's point, but each of those exceedances is consulted on with the HSE. There have been no water restrictions put in place for supplies where pesticides have been found. I wanted just to give the Senator that context.
