Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion

Dr. Eimear Cotter:

We are looking at nitrates in water bodies. That is what the EPA does. We are monitoring nutrient levels in water. We will capture the good work the Senator has highlighted in the monitoring, if it materialises into reduced nitrogen levels. We are not seeing overall reductions in nitrogen levels. In terms of the EPA's role in monitoring what is happening in water, it is not coming through in the data.
