Vol. 378 No. 2

Written Answers. - Kilkenny River Survey.

48.

asked the Minister for the Marine if his Department participated in a survey of the River Breagagh in County Kilkenny in relation to the spillage of PCB into the river; and if he will outline the results of the survey.

Monitoring of the fish populations near the confluence of the River Breagagh and the River Nore has been carried out by my Department and has revealed continuing levels of PCB. There is, however, no evidence that any fish mortalities have occurred as a result of the spillage in question.
