PQ 504
504. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the identification of the outer limits of estuaries here was subject of a report by the Environmental Protection Agency to his Department in 1995 when UK guidelines were accepted in defining Lough Foyle as coastal waters; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that in the UK this sea classification for the Severn and Humber estuaries was overruled in a judicial review in January 1996 against the UK DoE; and the reasons the EPA has not recategorised Lough Foyle as estuarine waters despite the repeated requests of local residents to do so.
