Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Beckett:

We feel a very important message needs to get out there around connecting the dots about just how important it is to have clean water available to all members of society. That is part of our endorsement for more training. It is more an awareness campaign than training as such. In our experience, the penetration of training is at a certain level, but there certainly could be more training on technical issues. That is our experience on the ground. The bigger picture message we were trying to convey, however, was the importance of water itself and how we can all do our bit to ensure good water quality in our catchments.
