Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion
Mr. Ted Massey:
I have asked the catchments programme officials why that is, because they have seen improvements in the other catchments, but those other catchments did not show improvements in nitrate levels last year. The question arises: why is Timoleague different? There is one train of thought that there are more requirements on derogation farmers and, because they are engaging in that, it is driving the improvement.
