‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cork Harbour Pollution Precautions. Cork Harbour oil spill incidents
Summary
Deputy Deasy asked whether there had been many recent spills and whether the Minister had details. The Minister could not provide incident figures, but said the Harbour Commissioners’ equipment should handle spills effectively.
Despite the precautions the Minister has read out, have there not been a large number of spillages in the Cork Harbour area in recent years?
Comment on this
I have not the details of every single spillage that has taken place. But I understand from the list of equipment outlined here in the possession of the Cork Harbour Commissioners that they can deal effectively with any spillage that might occur in their water area.
