Local authorities worst polluters, claims farmer
Pat O’Rourke said he does not want to hear ”hypocrites” on the national airwaves accusing farmers of polluting streams and rivers when those people themselves live in newly-built houses in newly-expanded villages, where untreated and raw sewage is pumped or allowed to flow into adjacent streams and rivers by the county council.
“That’s the reason why I have to bite my tongue when I hear some man or woman castigating farmers as the country’s worst polluters,” he said.
