Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

We obviously want better environmental management systems. I was in one location recently looking at new state-of-the-art environmental-management systems from the perspective of a public authority. It was a water system in which water was being pumped from different areas of the county and in which each bore hole could be monitored individually. These types of management systems and information controls were not available in the past. I am simply updating legislation to take account of such developments. These developments are taking place as a matter of course but were not taken account of in the 1992 Act.
