Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Nitrates Directive, Water Quality and Pollution: Discussion
Dr. Eimear Cotter:
From our perspective, we want to see measures that deliver for the environment as a whole, rather than looking at single environmental issues. We think that will give more bang for our buck, which makes more sense. It is a win-win. Looking at any measure that delivers for the environment overall in terms of air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and water quality is more efficient and effective and will give better environmental outcomes.
