Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Nitrates Directive, Water Quality and Pollution: Discussion
Mr. Donal Grant:
I want to add one point to what Mr. Flynn said. He referenced the targeting of inspections to critical source areas. We will definitely work on that area with local authorities. A number of individuals within local authorities already work on that basis when they are developing their own inspection plans for their jurisdictions. For the most part, they are aware of where the issues are within their own county and that is where they tend to target their inspections.
