Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Fox:

It happened on 12 August. Certainly, water samples were taken on 12 August. IFI’s remit is very clear and quite weak with regard to our legislative remit, if I am totally honest. It is something that is being addressed at the moment. Our primary role is to locate the discharge, sample it and prosecute the offender.
