EPA deny probe was inadequate

THE Environmental Protection Agency has dismissed the claims of an international consultant who said their investigation into animal health problems in West Limerick was inadequate.

In a letter to the IFA, the EPA has totally refuted the findings of Professor Brian Alloway.

The IFA commissioned Dr Alloway to analyse EPA reports produced after their 4m investigation of the cause of more than 100 livestock deaths and animal health problems on farms in the Askeaton area over 15 years.
