I refer to the reply to Question No. 685 of 19 February 2008 which addressed the functions of local authorities under the European Communities (Good Agricultural Practice for Protection of Waters) Regulations 2006, and the powers of the EPA in relation to the performance by local authorities of their environmental protection functions. The position is unchanged.
