Comment on this
Yesterday there were several reports in south County Wexford on the Waterford estuary, believe it or not, that there was pollution coming from the gas power station at Great Island. I ask the Minister to request the Environmental Protection Agency to look into this as a matter of urgency. It is not the first time. There is a severe die-back of the bivalve shellfish in this area and it is having a significant impact on the livelihood of some of the fishers.
