I looked on the LEAP Online portal. North Cork Creameries had the licence for four or five months before the first non-compliance came in early 2020. The company has never been in compliance with the terms of its EPA licence for longer than two quarters over the entire period. How many chances does it deserve? The EPA's role is to protect our water systems. We are continually breaching any targets that have been set. Our water systems are in such poor condition. This impacts fishers, anglers, local communities, nature and the environment. The EPA has all the tools and all the evidence. However, entities like this are still being given chances.
