Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion
Tim Lombard (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Dr. Cotter can see how the farming community might look at this map and ask what it was about. We know the cattle stocking density in some areas. As Dr. Cotter rightly mentioned, there are freely draining soils in the south and south east. However, we are discussing the nitrates action plan and reducing nitrogen levels. If we were to reduce those levels in County Leitrim and a derogation farmer were to reduce his or her levels to 220 kg, would it have any impact on Leitrim?
