Understanding the state of Ireland's water quality and the effectiveness of planned measures is crucial for ensuring a sustainable future. This analysis, focusing on the Third Cycle Water Action Plan 2024, is based on data as of September 2023. The final Water Action Plan, which was published in September 2024, has been informed by, and includes information from, the EPA’s gap analysis of the draft Plan.

A technical report outlining the methodologies used in surface waters and groundwaters, July 2024
Year: 2024
In Ireland, almost 60 per cent of identified Water Framework Directive (WFD) water bodies1 are monitored. The current ecological status assigned to these waterbodies is based on the results of the 2019-2021 national water quality monitoring programme (EPA, 2021). The status for those water bodies that are not monitored must be assigned by other means. The purpose of this technical paper is to outline how status is assigned to the remaining unmonitored surface waters and groundwaters.
