Dr. Eimear Cotter:

In terms of our environmental regulator role with Uisce Éireann, we carry out functions in that regard. We carry out an annual inspection plan and we are working through non-compliances. Incidences are reported to us and we have taken prosecutions, where necessary. I cannot speak to the specifics of the case the Deputy raised. There is no one rule for one sector and another for a different sector.

We are taking the issues around wastewater as seriously as we are with agriculture.
