PRESS RELEASE - FRIDAY 11 JULY 2014 - ACCIDENT REPORT REFUSED Simon Coveney has refused to release the Department’s Report on the loss of 230,000 salmon in Bantry Bay last February. His decision claims that the work is not completed and that the public interest would not be served by the disclosure of the Department of Marine’s Engineering Division report. The storm on February 1, 2014, saw a cage break loose from its mooring and upend itself into another cage at Gerahies. Alex O’Donovan, Secretary of Save Bantry Bay [SBB] said in March of this year that after the official count on 19 February 2014 they understood that the farm had been ‘virtually wiped out’. Minister Simon Coveney subsequently confirmed the loss of 230,000 Salmon in the extreme weather event of 2 February 2014. Despite repeated requests, Friends of the Irish Environment [FIE] and Save Bantry Bay have been refused the Report, breaking Minister Coveney’s previous precedent of releasing such documents regarding salmon farm escapes. read full story / add a comment
