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

5:30 pm

Ms Mary Gurrie:

What I can say from our indicators report this year is that there was not a lot of change in 2023 versus 2022. We have seen nitrate levels increasing since around 2020, particularly in the south and south east, and they are stuck at too high a level. We cannot predict ahead but that is where we are at now.
