Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

I want to ask about two pieces of legislation. Are there any plans to amend the drinking water regulations in light of the findings in reports by the HSE and Cavan and Monaghan county councils on phenol contamination of water in Cavan and Monaghan? What is the situation regarding the reform of the foreshore legislation which has been promised by the Government for years? It is needed for us to comply with the Aarhus Convention and the public participation directive, over which we are being brought to court by the European Commission. Many decisions will be taken in the future on the development of our foreshore.
