Questions remain over delay in warning about safety of Haulbowline site

Both the Government and Cork County Council have refused to say why they did not publish warnings they received about the safety of Haulbowline Island over two years ago.

The details of a two-year-old report, detailed by the Irish Examiner earlier this week, revealed that Cork County Council was warned that the pollution on Haulbowline has “the potential to cause risks to any users of a potential future park” on the site.
