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

Ms Mary Gurrie:
The grant is not from the EPA. It is a Government grant. It is targeted at areas where the problems are. It is available for places where there are water problems and where there have been inspections. However, I cannot comment on why one person in an area would be eligible and another would not. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage oversees the grant system, so it might be able to clarify that.
