Deirdre Clune (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

The problem is that this contamination would have been leaking into the waterways. It would have been in the tidal area and there would have been rainfall which would have washed through the site and washed this material into the harbour and environment. It is disgraceful that a full site investigation was not carried out. We now realise that there has only been a skimming of the surface.
