I will not ask the Minister why he sent his submission to us at 8.22 a.m. or had a Zoom call about not going to Brussels because I want to know what we can do now.

The committee met the Commissioner. I want to acknowledge the four committee members who travelled. The Cathaoirleach led a really good delegation and my two colleagues seated on my left did a fantastic job when we met the Commissioner.

We had a good engagement with the Commissioner. We thought he was open to dialogue. I want clarity from the Minister, if possible. I will bring him back to the famous red map on page 27 of the EPA report. Water quality is not good on some of the map and on some of it meets the criteria. Will the area marked in white on the map be subject to the reduction to 220 kg N/ha? That is a "Yes" or "No" answer.
