More farm inspections will be taking place to assess how fertiliser is being used.
A major plan to improve water quality across Ireland is being launched today.
Minister Malcolm Noonan initiated Water Action Plan 2024 which will see billions invested into lakes, rivers and drinking water over the next three years.
60 new jobs are also set to be created for farm inspections specifically around the use of fertilisers.
Chair of the Irish Farmers' Association in Laois, Henry Burns says farmers are willing to do their bit, but want to see everyone else doing it too:
