North Cork Creamery had ample opportunity to get its house in order wrt discharges. There was repeated compliance breeches over the last 5 yrs so its welcome to see the EPA finally move on this. Important that staff are protected during this process rte.ie/news/2025/1124/154563…

"What we’re seeing is large corporates sitting on land because they know that this govt...will just keep on subsidising them even more…They know if they wait, they’ll get more money." @WhitmoreJen gives #SaturdayRTE her views on the new housing plan launched this week.
It was disappointing that today, I was the ONLY public rep out of 14 or 15 that even mentioned environmental protection or impact on rivers from the derogation. This is why we are where we are... #NatureLoss
Following today's meeting w/ @JessikaRoswall on nitrates derogation, I gave her a copy of the EPA report on the destruction of Our Lady's Island Lake in Wexford as an illustration of the impact of the derogation on our environment. Nature cannot be forgotten in nitrates debate

This complete 'head in the sand' approach by Irish Govt to climate action will cost us dearly...one way or another.
Govt should invest now instead of risking throwing money away via fines
