Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Pamela McDonnell:

There was a pattern of data not being appropriately generated and maintained on site. Under their licence, they are supposed to have monitoring data for every single day of the year when they are discharging. They did not have that in this case and there were other days when monitoring was missed over the course of the year. That constitutes non-compliance with their licence and that is part of what we are following up on with them.
