Dr. Edmond O'Reilly:

The EPA is the competent body in monitoring and managing the discharges to water bodies. The local authorities are also involved from the perspective of the local authorities' water programmes. Uisce Éireann is a stakeholder with regard to water body impact. There are a number of stakeholders, including stakeholders from the areas of agriculture and forestry, along with many more. Each is concerned with particular impacts in particular parts of the country. The EPA manages the data and the science behind it all.
