Is there anywhere on that red map that could be on it just because there was an increase, albeit the increase may still not have put it over the critical level? The witness referred to the increase in nitrates. If one tested a river in County Leitrim last year or two years ago and there was X amount of nitrogen in it and one went back for this test and there was X + 0.1%, it is an increase, so it is included in the map, even though it is still within the limits. Is that the case?
