585 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if legislation includes the requirement for identification of safe guard zones for the protection of drinking water supplied in accordance with Article 7(3) Directive 2000/60/EC especially when these are established local rural water schemes in the west Cavan/north Leitrim areas; if there is a licence to conduct hydraulic fracking in these same areas in view of the fact that the detailed hydro geologic characteristics are not available and regular water monitoring sites are non-existent in these areas, especially as the source of the Shannon comes from Fermanagh into Cavan via the Shannon pot and the area has an extensive unexplored cave system.
