Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion
Dr. Tom Ryan:
Our inspectors talked this through with Irish Water in the second audit. We are satisfied that it was a misunderstanding. We are disappointed because our recommendation was for a fail-safe shutdown of all of the plant, which clearly did not happen. Irish Water has now taken remedial action and an automatic shutdown is in place as of 24 October.
