Mr. David Flynn:

The ACP process is a research project that is highly intensive, requires a high level of engagement in the catchment and is costly. The purpose of that is to be a test bed to be looked at for the rest of the country. That informs the practice. To replicate that at national scale would not be feasible. It is probably more a matter for the EPA to comment on but the EPA monitoring programme follows the requirements of the Commission. There are requirements around sampling, which would be international best practice, and requirements around laboratory analysis. A lot of the data are available as open data on catchments.ie. Without speaking for it, I am sure the EPA would be more than happy to provide whatever data are required.
