Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)

The difficulty was with the Minister's initial reply, not with the supplementaries.

I accept the point the Minister made about identification. In that regard, she might have a word with the Taoiseach because he seems to have a problem with it.

I have two questions for the Minister. First, given that she gave a commitment that the Department checklist would be issued to farmers, when will it be issued to them? Second, the definition of soiled water dating from July 2004 was subsequently changed in December last. When were the agricultural advisers around the country informed in detail of the impact of the change?
