That is right. I know a few of them and I know that they are very distressed by this event. Still and all, we have a situation where there are significant numbers of dead trout in our rivers.

Regarding the EPA, there has been a lot of speculation in relation to four locations but it is important to base commentary on facts. The public statements from the organisations here have left a lot to be desired. There is reputational damage for everybody involved and it is hugely important that we operate on facts going forward to ensure that we get appropriate results. I hope that we will have a final report and final recommendations and a restoration plan. I was not convinced by Ms Kelly's contribution in relation to having a restoration plan. I am not just talking about a restoration plan to bring trout back into rivers, which is hugely important, but also about bringing back the economic and tourism-potential value that has been lost in north Cork in the last number of weeks.
