AN Irish Water/Uisce Éireann official has insisted high levels of pesticides discovered in three Cork drinking water supplies in 2022 did not pose a threat to public health.
The volume of pesticides used in Ireland is relatively low, at 0.64kg/ha of Utilised Agricultural Area (UAA), compared with the EU-27 average of 2.08 kg/ha UAA (2020 data).
