To come back to what other members have said, the EPA excludes all references to other sources of nutrients in our water. Senator Paul Daly has just given examples. The data should include potentially significant other sources. The Chairman mentioned what was going into the River Suir. Golden is a village in my area - it also in the Chairman's area - that is not referenced in any of the EPA's reports. In winter we have heavy rain in an awful lot of places around the country. Why are they excluded?
