This was not in the media; I am reading this from Cork County Council’s report. In that document, it says that IFI shared its assessment suggesting a possible fungal outbreak. It seems absolutely incredible that an agency was on site when there was a fish kill and no water samples were collected, regardless of IFI’s remit. That seems like a huge gap in any protocol. It should not matter which agency was on site. There should be a series of samples that are required in order to actually ascertain what happened. Walking up and down streams trying to find a pipe, particularly in instances like this, is not going to work.

The EPA was not notified-----
