Mr. Eamonn Hore:

We know exactly what that is. The input from the Irish Water plant is less than 1% of the total nitrogen. We also have a solution for that but I do not think it would be money best spent. Maybe it would be in the future. The solution is to bring the effluent from Lady’s Island to Tagoat. It is only that far. That is assuming that the Tagoat–Rosslare Harbour scheme goes ahead. This is currently being examined by Uisce Éireann and would cost €6 million. One would like to reduce every input but the phosphorous input from the Uisce Éireann treatment plant is less than 1%.
