Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Fox:

I confirm to the Deputy that there was no delay on IFI's part. Our statutory role is very clear in events like this and I want to commend our staff on what they did. They worked tirelessly. They were on site not quite 24/7 but for every hour of daylight. They worked tirelessly to try to detect a discharge but unfortunately were not in a position to do that.
