Thank you, Taoiseach. I do not have Deputy Paul Murphy. I call Deputy O'Gorman.

Where is everybody?

I do not know, Taoiseach.

Yesterday the EPA published the Water Quality in Ireland Report 2019-2024, which shows only half of water bodies are in satisfactory ecological health. I have raised a specific instance of poor water quality with the Taoiseach in the past, namely, Lady's Island Lake in County Wexford. At the time he said he would personally intervene to see if we can get an action plan put together to start the process of reversing this. Senator Noonan and I met the Save Lady's Island Lake campaign group a couple of weeks ago and witnessed the impact of pollution on this lake. I understand an oversight group has been set up, but how do we move from oversight to real action that will improve water quality? The Save Lady's Island Lake campaign group are seeking monthly water quality testing on the lake to see if measures are working and they are seeking confirmed additional funding to help stakeholders, primarily farmers, meet the cost of measures to reduce the volume of nitrates entering the lake. Will the Taoiseach give us an update on the measures being taken to reduce pollution here?

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue, as he has previously. Lady's Island Lake is a priority area for action under the Water Action Plan 2024. All scientific, compliance, advisory and regulatory measures will be applied. There is close collaboration between Wexford County Council, the local authority waters programme, agricultural sustainability support and advisory and the farming for water European innovation partnership programme. The Minister of State, Deputy O'Sullivan, has met key stakeholders and an oversight group for Lady's Island Lake has been established with the council chairing and Teagasc also involved. The council has been asked to urgently prepare a specific action plan following the Water Action Plan 2024 framework and the Department of heritage will continue to support from a funding perspective national agricultural inspection programme inspectors to monitor farm compliance with good agricultural practice regulations, free advice and support for farmers and cofunding for supplementary measures under the farming for water European innovation partnership programme. Any additional funding will be considered once Wexford County Council makes and submits a business case.
