Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion

Dr. Jenny Deakin:

I am not sure I understand the question. We published a report in 2021 that looked at the loads of nitrogen in all of the catchments where it is a problem. We found that the amount of reduction of nitrogen load that was needed in the water ranged from about a 20% to a 50% cut. That is what we need for the environmental outcome.
