Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

The last report on water supplies in County Galway, where there is a huge number of group water schemes, referred to some pollution from septic tanks and agricultural activity. It is important to move to a situation where all water supplies come from local authority sources. For too long we have had supplies from rivers, springs and lakes and they have not been successful. All the studies carried out show that those supplies have been polluted. While I accept that this issue is being addressed by the Minister, I hope further action will be taken.
