Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

I agree wholeheartedly. We will be launching the new water action plan, the third cycle of the river basin management plan. Within that we intend to expand significantly the number of areas for action and high-status objective areas. That will give added support to householders in those catchments. This comes about because of the deteriorating quality of our water and catchments. The action plan will envisage and anticipate that we will significantly ramp up the level of inspections and actions to deal with these. They have a significant impact on human health and the environment.
