Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Ger Barry:

Cork County Council has been proactive and transparent in its support to the agencies. We were on site on day one and had officers looking for signs of pollution within the vicinity of the fish kill. We had up to 14 members of staff on site over the duration of the investigation to carry out investigative works throughout the catchment. We provided support insofar as was possible.
