Council to invite report authors for Q&A session

CORK county manager Martin Riordan is to ask the consultants who prepared the Haulbowline report to meet councillors for a question and answer session as they remain unconvinced by its claim there is no threat to the health of people living near the toxic dump.

Mr Riordan said he would seek the meeting after a number of county councillors said they were not convinced by White, Young & Green’s assessment of the potential danger of the toxic dump in Cork harbour.

The county manager added that the council was also of the view that a baseline health study must still be carried out amongst the population of the harbour.
