Anti-pollution group anger over caustic soda spillage

A WEST Limerick anti- pollution group has told the EPA it has no confidence in the agency to properly monitor the giant Aughinish Alumina plant which recently reported a spillage of around 50,000 litres of caustic soda.

Cappagh Farmers Support Group has told the EPA it is very concerned at that spillage.

Chairman Patrick Sheehy said: “Our group are very concerned in relation to the spillage of caustic on June 22 on the Aughinish Alumina site. It seems again that the EPA was not aware of this spillage.”
