That should raise alarm bells. As somebody who lives on a farm where we have dairy and horses, I think five complaints is an extraordinarily high number. Would the Department not consider putting in monitoring or something else on a long-term basis whereby that analysis is done over time? We now know that following the five complaints, the Department was saying there was no problem but the work of “RTÉ Investigates” has debunked that.
