Ms Mary Gurrie:
The monitoring is done over a three-year cycle and each catchment is monitored over that. For the catchments that were monitored in 2022 and 2023, we saw net improvements in the Liffey, Slaney, Moy and Erne river catchments. We saw net declines in the Nore, Suir, Barrow, Shannon, Lee, Laune, Feale and Lough Swilly river catchments.
