This is a points dataset of licensed and licensable Section 4 discharges to water to support the characterisation of waterbodies for the 3rd Cycle of River Basin Management Planning and beyond. These sites were collected by EPA, in conjunction with the Local Authorities, in early 2024 and published in November 2024. This dataset takes in account, among other datasets, the Section 4s dataset developed in 2005 as Point Source Pressures for the Article 5 Characterisation and Risk Assessment Report for the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC; (European Communities (Water Policy) Regulations 2003 (SI 722 of 2003)) and the previously collated October 2015 dataset.

Eolas Dualfhoinse	The Water Framework Directive (WFD) Article 5 characterisation process requires an analysis of the pressures and impacts that human activities exert on Irish waters to be undertaken in order to identify those waterbodies that are at risk of failing the objectives of the directive. This data will support the characterisation of waterbodies for the 3rd Cycle of River Basin Management Planning. Section 4's (under the Water Pollution Acts) are Local Authority Licensed industries that discharge trade effluent into waters. The majority of the data was collected from the relevant Local Authority but additional data was acquired from EPA, Irish Water, GSI, RPS, DECC and DHLGH. It was attempted to verify the location of each point with a confidence value applied using a traffic light system. A confidence value of green or orange was achieved on approximately 83% of the dataset and this represents the dataset currently published. Approximately 17% of the dataset could not be mapped or were mapped in obviously incorrect locations and, so as to avoid confusion, were excluded from this dataset but are available upon request from EPA.
