Jump To Comment: 1 2In fairness to Mary White (Green Party MEP candidate in East), while her position on live exports may be a cop-out, she's completely clear on Nitrates and drinking water. Here's a press release I put out a few weeks ago about this....
Peace campaigner and environmentalist Eoin Dubsky, who is running as an independent candidate for the Euro elections in Leinster, today called for proper enforcement of drinking water regulations to protect public health. Furthermore, he said, people who are forced to buy bottled still water because their tap water is not safe should be allowed recover the expense against their taxes.
"Everyone should have access to safe drinking water by law. Pollution from sources like poorly managed farms and businesses threaten public health, leaving families with little alternative but to boil their water or buy bottled drinking water. They should be allowed to recover the expense against their taxes.
"EU Directives on the environment and public health are not enforced properly in Ireland, and MEPs can either help or hinder the public interest. Schemes like REPS and EMAS need to be promoted more, to help make Irish agriculture and business environmentally friendly. Preventing pollution from entering waters -- source protection -- is the first line of defence and the most obvious."
Eoin Dubsky has been a volunteer with environmental group Coastwatch for years, campaigning for improved water quality and nature protection locally and around Europe.
