Regarding the catchments Mr. Drennan mentioned in his opening statement, we have Teagasc, the EPA and the Department all making acknowledgements or submissions to the Commission about the nitrates derogation. Two Departments are involved. The Department of local government and the Department of agriculture are working together on this issue. As an organisation, do we need a streamlined attitude to who reports to the Commission and should one Department be in charge of this, rather than having Teagasc, the EPA and two Departments involved?
