Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion

Mr. Shane Herlihy:

I do not think we will see any significant changes in 12 months. We would hope to see some changes in the surface water overland flows that may occur in the winter if there is a huge improvement in that regard, particularly in terms of the closed period and slurry management in the winter months. However, in regard to groundwater, and surface water in particular in the summer months, it will take a very long time to achieve any significant improvements.
