Quality of Bathing Waters (Amendment) Regulations, 1996 (S.I. No. 230 of 1996).

These Regulations amend the Quality of Bathing Waters Regulations, 1992 so as to apply the water quality standards, sampling programmes and pollution prevention provisions of the principal Regulations to additional specified bathing areas. Local authorities will be required to submit results of their bathing water sampling programmes to the Environmental Protection Agency instead of to the Minister, in such manner as directed by the Agency.
