Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion

Mr. Ted Massey:

To go back to the maps and Deputy Kerrane's question, there are anomalies between the maps, and these are due to the dataset that has been used. As Mr. Flynn has said, the EPA has prepared its report in accordance with the requirements set down by the European Commission. In doing so, the EPA knew there would be anomalies, and that is why it has deliberately put a map into the report showing the need for a science-based, targeted approach and suggesting where we need measures for nitrogen and phosphorus.
