Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Deputy Bacik raised the issue of water quality monitoring. I endorse what she said about some very imaginative advertisements around water safety. Her view is that we need to do more in terms of water quality monitoring. That is improving now. It is going to enhance for swimmers, in particular the quality of water in their bays. I read Mr. Mark Henry's chapter on this. There has been a dramatic improvement over 20 or 30 years in water quality. The lesson is that we could do more faster in the current era to get more water treatment plants done, and also flood protection schemes. They are being objected to left, right and centre, however.
