“It’s tourism season, time to pour bleach into the rivers for 3 months straight!”
I’ve heard mutterings it’s a contravention of the water pollution act.
Surely we can assemble an independent body that can cut red tape and cut a contract in a case like this, it’s a deletion of wildlife and fishing in the area one bullet at a time
“guidelines on the use of bleaches are not a matter for the EPA”
Well who the feck is it a matter for then, if not the Environment Protection Agency?!?!
Ah yes, reacting when it’s too late, and papering over the cracks, it’s the Irish way. Why not spend that money on enforcing regulations on pollution levels?
unless there is a real problem of kids getting sick from bathing in these streams I don’t understand why the council took it upon themselves to chlorinate the streams as a preventive measure?
classic waterford coco exec, i believe their motto is “well, that’s your opinion”
Someone is infecting the river upstream and the solution is to sterilise it? Find the source of the pollution ffs.

Looks like they ran out of chlorine in early August. Scroll down a bit to see readings.
