Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

In Kinvara in my constituency in County Galway, there is a discharge of raw sewage, despite requests in the past for funding to put in place a proper sewerage system in the most sensitive of areas where the oyster beds are situated. Scientists have found that the nature of the currents has magnified the discharge in that it constantly circulates within the bay and it has done, and has the potential to do, serious damage to the oyster beds which are renowned worldwide.
