Have your say on the timetable and work programme for Ireland's River Basin Managment Plan 2022-2027.
The Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government has published the timetable and work programme setting out the main steps and milestones in the three year process of preparing Ireland’s third River Basin Management Plan (RBMP), which will be published in December 2021.
It also highlights the measures which the Department will take to ensure comprehensive engagement with the public and to set out the agreed steps which will be taken to engage with all stakeholders across the work programme.
A short, targeted questionnaire has been developed to facilitate responses to some of the key questions relation to the development of the RBMP. The responses received to this questionnaire will helpdetermine the public's opinion on the current RBMP and the level of engagement between the implementation bodies and stakeholders. It will also help to shape the development of the consultation process at different stages of the Plan, and will guide assessment of the success of the measures we have put in place in the current RBMP 2018-2021 to improve water quality.

Aithnítear go forleathan gur bagairt shuntasach atá i bPlá na bPiardóg do mharthanas na Piardóige Liathbháine, atá faoi bhagairt go domhanda. Bíonn an Phiardóg Liathbhán le fáil go coitianta i go leor lochanna, aibhneacha agus sruthanna in Éirinn. Tá ról tábhachtach aici in éiceachóras na habhann mar go mbíonn sí ag innilt ar phlandaí agus is foinse bia atá inti féin don dobharchú. Is speiceas faoi chosaint í an phiardóg liathbhán ( data=04%7C01%[email protected] %7C431eae6044124f37a14208d968840286%7C72dcfc237571459481">White-clawed Crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes | National Parks & Wildlife Service (npws.ie)).
Meastar go mbíonn an galar marfach do na piardóga dúchasacha ar fad a ionfhabhtaítear agus i gcás ráigeanna den ghalar, díothaítear líon iomlán na bPiardóg Liathbhán.
Scaiptear an galar go dofheicthe san uisce agus d'fhéadfaí an ionfhabhtú a aistriú chuig aibhneacha, lochanna agus sruthanna eile ar threalamh, báid agus innealra fliuch.
D'fhonn marthanas na Piardóige Liathbháine in Éirinn a chinntiú, ní mór srian a choinneáil ar bhagairt agus ar thionchar an ghalair. Chuige sin, ní mór do gach duine a bhíonn ag plé leis an uisce (úsáideoirí áineasa, slatiascairí, daoine a dhéanann measúnú eolaíochta/a thógann samplaí eolaíochta etc.) bearta praiticiúla a dhéanamh chun scaipeadh an ghalair chuig dobharcheantair nach bhfuil buailte leis a chosc.
Céard is féidir leatsa a dhéanamh?
Céim 1 - Seiceáil, Glan agus Triomaigh
Is é an gníomh is éifeachtaí ná leas a bhaint as an bprótacal 'Seiceáil, Glan, Triomaigh' go rialta sula rachfá chuig abhainn nó loch agus ina dhiaidh sin. Déan trealamh a Sheiceáil, a Ghlanadh agus tabhair am le hé a Thriomú go maith, agus ansin triomaigh ar feadh 48 uair an chloig eile é.
SEICEÁIL – gach píosa trealaimh agus bain de aon ábhar planda nó ainmhí atá air sula bhfágfá an láthair agus arís sula rachfá go láthair nua.
GLAN – Díghalraigh an trealamh le díghalrán ceadaithe - féach thíos an chomhairle ón Ionad Náisiúnta le Sonraí Bithéagsúlachta
TRIOMAIGH – Déan cinnte deis a thabhairt chun an trealamh a thriomú sula rachfá chuig láthair nua agus go ndéantar uisce iarmharach ar bith a dhraenáil ó bháid etc sula bhfágann siad an láthair, féach breis comhairle thíos.

Mura mbíonn sé indéanta an trealamh a thriomú, ba cheart:
Galghlantóir cumhachta a úsáid chun an trealamh a ní ag teocht sách ard (os cionn 65 céim ar a laghad) - is féidir galghlantóir cumhachta soghluaiste a úsáid nó glantóir cumhachta a úsáid ag Stáisiún Peitril in aice láimhe mar mhalairt air sin.
Gach rud a dhíghalrú trí úsáid a bhaint as díghalrán ceadaithe amhail Milton (lean lipéad an táirge), Virkon Aquatic (3mg/L), Proxitane (30mg/L) nó táirge iaidín-bunaithe ar feadh 15 nóiméad. Maidir le baill atá deacair a chur ar maos, is féidir iad a spraeáil nó an t-uisce a chuimilt díobh leis an díghalrán.
Ba cheart uisce fuartháin san inneall nó uisce iarmharach i mbáid/gcadhcanna a dhraenáil agus a ghlanadh amach le díghalrán, nuair is féidir. Féach an bhileog d'úsáideoirí bád anseo; https://www.biodiversityireland.ie/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/IFI_boaters-leaflet-1.pdf

CÉIM 3 - FEASACHT A MHÚSCAILT
Scaip an foláireamh speicis seo chomh forleathan agus is féidir.
The Government has published the River Basin Management Plan for Ireland 2018-2021. The Plan sets out the actions or measures that Ireland will take to improve water quality and achieve ‘good’ ecological status in water bodies (rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters) by 2027 as is required under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Measures include the following:
- Planned investment by Irish Water of approximately €1.7 billion in waste-water projects;
- Deployment of 43 local authority investigative assessment personnel, who will work in Prioritised Areas for Action;
- Improved controls for the management of water abstractions;
- A new collaborative Sustainability and Advisory Support Programme between Government and the dairy industry, consisting of 30 Sustainability Advisors promoting agricultural best practice in 190 Areas for Action;
- The development and implementation of a “Blue Dot Catchments Programme” for the protection of high-status waters; and
- The extension of the grant scheme for repairs, upgrade and replacement of domestic waste-water treatment systems, with priority given to high-status catchments.
The Prioritised Areas for Action within Fingal as outlined in the Plan are the catchments of Rogerstown Estuary, Santry River, Mayne River and Upper Tolka.
Stakeholder and public engagement is being led by the recently-established Water Forum (An Fóram Uisce) and the Local Authority Waters and Communities Office (LAWCO). LAWCO drives public engagement, participation and consultation with communities and stakeholders at local and regional level. This engagement is further supported by www.catchments.ie and www.watersandcommunities.ie and by a wide range of other activities aimed at facilitating and encouraging engagement.
