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

Dr. Eimear Cotter:

We have said that it is a huge challenge. A total of 54% of our waters are in satisfactory condition so they have good or high ecological status. We have said that it is a huge challenge to get from 54% to 100% and have identified where the gaps are. Does Dr. Deakin wish to speak to that?
