The Deputy's previous questions were understood to have related to digestate and were answered in the context of public and animal health under Regulation 1069/2009.

However, I can confirm that separately my Department is conducting an investigation under the Environmental Impact Assessment regulations (SI 456/2011) in County Donegal but cannot comment further while matters are under investigation. I apologise for any confusion caused.
