Mr. Barry Fox:

IFI's only responsibility with regard to the water framework directive is the monitoring of fish populations. We report that into the EPA. I add that it is not all bad news with the farming community. IFI worked closely with LAWPRO and the farming community all over the country to put in different development projects and interventions along the riparian corridor and improving the habitats and diversity in those catchments. There is a lot of good news with regard to the working relationships between our organisations and the farming community, and it is improving year on year.
