Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion
2:00 am
Michael Murphy (Tipperary South, Fine Gael)
I want to come to what is in the report. I presume the Marine Institute is responsible for tissue sampling and not for the environmental and chemical analysis. It talks about how samples were sent for independent analysis on 900 different parameters. I am trying to understand about the samples that were sent away. We know this is where the problem was. It was not a tissue issue. Where did those samples go to? What was the independent, accredited lab?
