Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion

Mr. David Flynn:

The implementation is continuing all the time. ASSAP is working away. The local authorities are working on implementing the water framework directive every day. A draft of the river basin management plan was published. A long public consultation period ended at the end of March 2022. Since then, we have been working closely with stakeholders - especially An Fórám Uisce, the national statutory stakeholder body, which includes farm organisations, NGOs and industry - to bring the final plan to the Government, we hope, in the early autumn.
