Is that not the issue? We are trying to empower farmers with the available information, yet reports are published 18 months after the first test. That is what happens. We wait for the EPA to come on "Morning Ireland" to inform us of what is happening with water quality nationally. It is important we are told what is happening. I do not have an issue with that, but farmers need to know within a week of a result being available. How can they change a farming practices if they do not get the information?
