Advisory group set up to deal with review of nitrates regulations

AN advisory group on the review of the nitrates regulations has been set up by Government ministers Brendan Smith (agriculture) and John Gormley (environment).

It will review the submissions received in response to a public consultation process on Ireland’s second Nitrates Action Programme, and advise the two ministers accordingly.

The consultation process closed on July 23 and it is intended the expert group will make its recommendations by mid-September.
