Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

5:30 pm

Dr. Eimear Cotter:

-----so I cannot say what data will be used. I can say what we will publish. In June, we published 2023 data. Next year in June, under the nitrates directive, we will publish results from 2024 and we will have the full three-yearly assessment in the second half of 2025. That is what we will come out with next year. It will be the same the following year. We will be back to the indicators, rather than the three-yearly assessment in 2026.
