I have had an inspection carried out of the oil storage terminal at Whiddy island very recently and the report which I received has indicated that the safety arrangements at the terminal are generally satisfactory.
I have arranged for the terminal to be inspected at regular intervals. The inspectors will liaise as necessary with Cork County Council who also have certain responsibilities in the matter.
