THE PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED ON THE 15TH OF FEBRUARY 2017
AS FOLLOWS:
MR. CHAIRMAN: Okay, good morning everyone. If we can
get started, I know our - we have moved around the
agenda a little bit over the course of yesterday. But
we did decide yesterday that we would go back to hear
the conclusion of the presentation from An Taisce. Is
that okay, Alan?
MR. DOYLE: That is fine, that is fine. Good morning,
Mr. Chairman. Continuing on from where I finished off
in relation to probative assessment yesterday.
I was interested by some of Dr. Good's points in
relation to the importance of Dromagowlane River for
the ultimate conservation of the freshwater pearl
mussel. I might disagree with him on his conclusion
that - that the notification obligation on the
habitat's directive is spent. But I think what's
crucial is that the freshwater pearl mussel is
designated under the habitat's directive as a species
requiring protection. And according to Article 2 -
Article 2 paragraph 2 of the habitat's directive
measures taken pursuant to the directive;
"Shall be designed to maintain and restore a favourable
conservation status natural habitats and species of
wild fauna and flora community interest". Freshwater
pearl mussel is a species of community interest. It is

not a favourable conservation status. It is impossibly
terminal decline and the main populations in the Barrow
and Nore rivers have not reproduced since 1970's. And
they have a life expectancy of about a hundred years.
So they appear to be nearing an end game there. The
evidence is that the pearl mussel in the Dromagowlane
has not reproduced in the last thirty years.
And, in those circumstances, switching directives, the
EIA of this proposed development at Shot Head
absolutely must identify what the likely impact of this
development will be on the Dromagowlane River. And it
absolutely cannot ignore the issue and ignore the
existence of the river as the - as the original EIS
did.
It is essential that the necessary data be collected
and analysed and that the assessment evaluate that
data, in order to decide is their likely to be an
effect, what mitigation measures can be put in place if
there is.
And if mitigation measures are even appropriate,
whether the effect is such and the importance of the
species is such, that a refusal would instead be
warranted.
And I would say that it is very late in the process to
be initiating this sort of Inquiry and the better

course is to refuse the application and allow the
developer come again with a properly constituted
application that addresses these points.
Similarly, in relation to the otter, my point was not
there will be a disturbance of otters per se but that
the otter is strictly protected under the habitat's
directive. And because it is strictly protected, it is
crucial that the EIA, when it is carried out, identify,
describe and assess what the affects on the otter would
be in Dromagowlane area, Dromagowlane River area.
If I can move on then to Environmental Impact
Assessment and then my fourth point, the water
framework directive. In relation to the EIA, as I have
mentioned, Article 5 paragraph 3 of the EIA directive
requires;
"Information to be provided by the developer shall
include at least (C) the data required to identify and
assess the main affects which the project is likely to
have on the environment".
So, in relation to Dromagowlane, that would include
establishing whether there are any otters in the area,
how many, where they are, what do they feed on? Have
they a similar diet to those in the Glengarriff area
which I have already covered in the habitat's directive
and which are not covered either in the EIA. Question

arises how will lice, in the water, affect the food
chain? And probably, more importantly, how will the
residual chemicals in the water affect the food chain,
particularly in the immediate vicinity near to
Dromagowlane? But also in relation to Glengarriff,
what happens there?
And I would adopt, in particular, the Coomhola and
Kieran O'Shea Appeals submissions here yesterday, in
relation to the potential affects of chemicals in the
water which have not been - have not been properly
assessed as to how they impact on protected species in
the area. So we are unclear as to what the affects of
chemicals will be on microorganisms, the knock on
effects on smaller marine fauna and the subsequent
affects for fauna higher up the food chain, such as the
salmon and otters and the common seal which is another
species which is protected, particularly in SAC.
I say that the information before the Board is now out
of date and this hearing has heard the evidence
relating to the subsequent scientific research papers
which obviously have not been handed in but which, Mr.
Chairman, you asked for full citations for.
The developer might feel that it was unfair to be hit
with a standard of research published subsequent to his
application. But, in my view, the reason this
application dragged on for so long was that the initial

standard of the information was very low and the
Department and laterally the Board have given the
developer every opportunity to improve the quality of
that information. And it is still, in my submission,
very low.
In those circumstances, rather than persist in giving
the developer additional opportunities to mend his
hand, my submission was, as previously said, is that
the Appeal should be refused.
In that respect, I refer again to Tab 24 which I
mentioned yesterday which says the flow in the bay is
counter clockwise and carries lice away from the river
at the head of the bay towards the sea. And this
contributes to the flushing of the bay and lice cannot
travel upstream. And that is still the essence of the
developer's argument. But that ignores the following
points.
Firstly, lice will be carried directly past Shot Head
on the outgoing tide, available to be washed back into
the Dromagowlane Estuary on the next tide.
It ignores the smolts from rivers at the head of the
bay passing by on their way out to sea which may be
infected and then not return home.
The same argument, as I made yesterday, in relation to

Glengariff applies also in relation to the
Environmental Impact Assessment for the other rivers
such as Coomhola and Mealagh and the Ouvane outside of
the outside of the SAC, the affects there need to be
taken into consideration and identified and have not
been.
And similarly the affects on the otter populations
generally around the bay.
The Board has asked for information in relation to
salmon populations and freshwater pearl populations and
I'd draw the hearings attention to Section 47(1) of the
1997 act provides;
"Where the Board is of the opinion that any document,
particulars or other information is or unnecessary for
the purposes of enabling the determinative Appeal it
shall serve a notice requiring that information to be
submitted".
And I want to emphasise that before it serves that
notice, the Board must have formed the opinion the
information is necessary. Therefore, if it does not get
the information, it cannot proceed to grant a licence.
And I think that is a critical element of the process
here, that if the developer has not submitted the
information and I say it has not in substance submitted
it, then the only option is to refuse. Not open to, not

open to go back and keep on looking for it again and
again.
I have very serious concerns, Mr. Chairman, in relation
to the absence of any consideration cumulative affects
of this development, along with the other fish farms in
the bay and along with all other activities in the bay.
There is no mention of cumulative affects, there is no
mention of other activities what impacts they are
having and how this development could add to them,
either in the EIS or in the Department's Environmental
Impact Assessment. The cumulative affects get one
mention in the Departments's EIA document, at page 51,
where the Department says that;
"There will be no cumulation of the affects of this
development" - give me a second, Mr. Chairman just get
you that and open it. It says;
"The level of interaction between factors as outlined
in Section 3 of the Regulations will be minimal and
cumulative effect of such interaction will not have a
significant negative impact on local environment".
If I may say, between the level of interaction between
the factors, the Department is talking about the
different elements of environmental impact such as
impact on human beings, fauna, flora, they are water
natural environment. It is not looking at the

cumulation of affects from different activities. It is
not looking at the population equivalent, sewage impact
from this fish farm along the water discharge, waste
water discharge from the town of Bantry or along with
the nitrate pollution from agriculture sources. It is
misunderstanding the nature of accumulative affect and
it has not - there is no basis in the EIS for carrying
out a proper assessment of cumulative affects either.
There is also no assessment of indirect affects and
these were mentioned yesterday as well. The proposed
fish farm will need to be supplied with fish meal to
feed the salmon. These will come from fishing for
other fish. And there is no consideration of the
sustainability of that resource at a time when fish
stocks across the North Atlantic are very serious
decline. And that is an interaction which should have
been looked at and which should be assessed.
There is also the issue of potentially escaping salmon.
One of the major hypothesise for how salmon might
escape is if a vessel - if a vessel in difficulty were
to enter the bay, either on it's own steam or driven by
the wind, what would happen if it collided with the
with the fish farm? The developer's response to that
well that would probably be an oil tanker and that we
would have a much more significant problem on our hands
and the impact on the wild life in the area would be
the least of our concerns. Which struck me as a

particularly flippant response, given that vessels
regularly get into difficulty along the south coast of
Ireland and England. And it is a matter of fortune
whether they would be blown into Bantry Bay as one of
the earliest places which they might arrive under
difficulty.
And the whole point of an EIA is that if something like
that is to happen you have already considered what the
likely impact would be. So that even if you are facing
an environmental catastrophe, of one form or another,
you can say at least we knew what the impact on the
fish farm would be and that this vessel colliding with
it would result in the escape of all the fish and what
we needed to do to get them back in before anything
happened.
The purpose of the EIA is to know in advance and to be
able to plan. And the outcome of the EIA maybe to say
well actually vessels do get blown into Bantry Bay if
their power fails and this is not the best place to put
this development. So the process of assessment may lead
to that conclusion but it does need to be assessed.
For those reasons I say that there isn't sufficient
data before you to carry out an EIA properly. If the
Board disagrees and considers that it has sufficient
data, I would ask it to ensure that it addresses those
issues in a very robust manner. And I will move on now

to my water framework directive.
In a European court case C 461/2013 which is one of
many Bund for Naturschutz cases, the European Court
held at paragraph 51 that;
"Article 4 (1) (A) of 1 to 3 of the water framework
directive "must be interpreted as meaning that member
states are required unless a derogation is granted to
refuse authorisation for an individual project where it
may cause a deterioration of the status of a body of
surface water or where it jeopardises the attainment of
good surface water status or of good ecological
potential and good surface water chemical status by the
State laid down by directive which has passed".
So the Board's authorisation process must refuse a
licence if the grant of a licence may cause a
deterioration of the status of a body of surface water,
such as Bantry Bay or if it can jeopardise the
attainment of good water status or if it can jeopardise
good ecological potential.
In order to reach a conclusion on that, again the
Environmental Impact Assessment will have to identify,
describe and assess the impacts in those terms. And
once again, I say, there is not sufficient information
before the Board to enable it to conclude that this
project cannot cause such a deterioration.

Just to close then with two comments in relation to
fair procedures which I possibly have mentioned at the
outset. I adopt the opening submissions from Tuesday
morning, my opening submission, as part of my
substantive submission in relation to the fairness of
the procedure. And I say also that the Board's initial
letter limiting Appellants to ten minute outlining of
their Appeal caused many of the Appellants to modify
what they intended to say, so that they said much less
than they would have wished. And I say that letter, in
spite of the leniency afforded by yourself, Mr.
Chairman, has resulted in a prejudice to many of the
Appellants in this case.
I would also point out that had I been notified of the
Appeals and my opportunity to make submissions on them,
I would have made a more substantial submission in
relation to the issue that arise in my submission
yesterday evening and today, simply an outline of the
many themes that I would have touched on.
Finally, Mr. Chairman, I would query whether it is
appropriate for you to recuse yourself from the Board
's deliberation of the Appeal, in circumstances where
the act provides for very specific balance of interest
groups to be represented on the Board. And the absence
of a member from one of those interest groups can
prejudice the proper balance of the Board. I have

already made an argument I feel the balance itself is -
is not appropriate, that it leads to a structural bias.
But I would also point out that the act does not
provide for the Board to sit in in different chambers
or groupings and it only provides for the Board to go
ahead without an individual member where that member is
unable to attend which would not appear to be the case
in this instance.
And finally, An Taisce understands that the - that the
Minister may not have made any nomination to the Board
from the environmental panel on the last occasion that
candidates were proposed, that none of them were
accepted and the position remains empty. I would say if
that is the case and we are endeavouring to verify
that, then the institutional balance of the Board is
further - further altered and altered to the detriment
of the environmental conservation interest which it is
intended should be fully represented.
Unless the Chair has any questions for me that's my
submission on behalf of An Taisce, thank you.
(APPLAUSE)
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Okay, thank you very much. If
we could hear from, I believe we have three Appellants
that we haven't heard from and these were three
Appellants who deferred, that was Save Bantry Bay, John
Brendan O'Keeffe and am I correct Galway Bay against
Salmon Cages? So, Save Bantry Bay.

before we make our submission we would like to clarify
the position as this is an Appeal, to clarify the
position of the proposed person who purported to carry
out the original decision and where that is standing in
these proceedings?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Sorry, can I ask you to repeat, you want
to clarify which?
MR. SWEETMAN: What the position of the Department over
there is, who made the original decision which is
subject to the Appeal.
MR. CHAIRMAN: What do you mean what is their position?
MR. SWEETMAN: Well, are they going to give evidence?
Do they wish to give evidence?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Well, they will be called.
MR. SWEETMAN: As we are Appealing their decision we
will be quite willing after they have given their
evidence, we will discuss that after they have given
their evidence.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Okay. Do the other Appellants wish to
go at this stage? So can I call John Brendan O'Keeffe.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Doctor,
Professor. I have a few questions before I start might
help me to shorten my presentation.
In my Appeal I included a book by - a very small book
by an expert in salmon biology, Professor Clinton.
Have you read that book 'The Inflammation Nation' did
you read?
MR. CHAIRMAN: No, I haven't.

MR. O'KEEFFE: So where does that go as far as evidence
for my reason for appealing?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Everything will be considered in the
determination of the Appeal. Everything submitted will
be considered in the determination of the Appeal.
MR. O'KEEFFE: But how can the Board members make a
decision without looking at the evidence?
MR. CHAIRMAN: The Board members will look at the
evidence, a decision hasn't been made yet.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Have they read it?
MR. CHAIRMAN: I can't speak for my colleagues.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Have they read any of the books I have
presented?
MS. O'HARA: I have them in the office for people,
yeah.
MR. O'KEEFFE: And have they read them?
MS. O'HARA: I can't confirm whether they have read
them.
MR. O'KEEFFE: I went to your office and I had to sign
in and out and I had a certain amount of material that
I was allowed to look at. When they come in do they go
through the same formality? So would you know whether
they read any of these Appeals?
MS. O'HARA: I have the documentation in the office.
Obviously, I mean, there is one copy of everything, so
the Board members will be reading all of them before
any determination is made. I can't say whether all of
them have been read or the DVDs have been looked at as
yet by every single member. But the determination

hasn't been made.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Okay. The next question that might help
to shorten this is, you mentioned that you were a
Professor of Law at UCC, does that not include the
environment?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, it does.
MR. O'KEEFFE: But you didn't say that.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I teach a number of things.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Pardon.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I teach environmental law and a range of
other subjects.
MR. O'KEEFFE: When you introduced yourself, when you
were asked to introduce yourself yesterday you didn't
mention the environment because this is very important
because you have written books on the environment and
--
MR. CHAIRMAN: Environmental law is one of my
specialties.
MR. O'KEEFFE: I think the audience need to know that
you are not just a Professor of Law but you are a
Professor of Environmental Law.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you for clarifying.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Thank you. I would like to start with a
statement made about ten years ago by a gentleman
called Edmond Grace. And he said;
"If trust in our system is to be restored elite
groups"- which I call you all elite or elitist, elite
- "would have to learn a new respect for those whom

they serve but no one knows how to do this and it will
take time".
Well, we have had ten years since he has said it and
there is just more distrust and more disrespect. I am
reading from a list so of more or less of factoid of
this whole thing and if there is some things
unsubstantial or whatever term you use to - to
disqualify some information, just let me know.
But the first factoid is that no health conscious
person should eat farm salmon or organic farm salmon.
Organic farm salmon and farm salmon should have a
warning label. Organic farm salmon is an oxymoron,
most perfect example of an oxymoron. Women of child
bearing age should not eat farm salmon or organic farm
salmon. And this was discussed by the European Food
Safety Authority and in their preamble they could not
agree, after spending €24 million, they could not agree
as to whether to tell women of child bearing age
whether or not to eat farm salmon six months before
they get pregnant or twelve months before they become
pregnant. That defies any logic.
Elderly people should not eat organic farm salmon.
People taking medications should not eat farm salmon
and healthy active individuals should be cautious when
they eat farm salmon.

Now, if you put this label on meat poultry, I don't
think the public would accept it. But the deception
and the mislabelling of the farm salmon enables it to
stay on the market. To stay on the question of the
pearl mussel and the local environments surrounding the
Dromagowlane River and some of the SACs in that area, I
would like to, I hope to be able to put it up there.
The well boat that goes up and down in front of my
house on a daily basis, maybe twice a day, now it has
600 cubic metres per well. So that boat carries 12
hundred cubic metres of water and it goes twice a day
to once a day and maybe skip a day. I have calculated
that it has taken over 4 million cubic metres of water
from the quarry from Tarmac Fleming Quarry over the 12
years I have been watching it.
Now, to go to the quarry, it's in the the Lee Hill SAC
area. Now, when they finished using the quarry for
mining gravel and stone, they were down 150 feet they
were allowed, they went in grades of 50. When they got
to the last 50 they were 350, 50's permitted. And the
last 50 they had to pump the water out of the quarry or
what was a quarry, what was originally a mountain. So
you talk about West Virginia in west Cork but they took
the top off the mountain, then went down a 150 feet
because that was the level of the tide. However, they
had to pump the water out. So, they are pumping the
water out. It has to be coming from below and it is
coming up from the water table and that water table is

from the SAC area. Now, this is new information so I
can give it to you later to include it in our Appeal.
Now, I can count 20 households that have their own
wells. Now, I have had drastic changes in my well and
contacted the County Council and they said "well, if
you think there is something wrong with it or polluted
why don't you check it yourself". That is the trust and
respect we get.
Now, when they fill the boat, they go to whichever
salmon farm they have, they are treating a disease on
that day and they wash the fish. Now, we know they put
the fish in the water. I mean, they just don't sit
there and look at it and go back. They put the fish in
the water, sometimes with chemicals, sometimes it is
just the diseased fish. But, you know, salmon have to
go to the bathroom and they shed disease. And if they
are being treated with chemicals, the chemicals get in
the holding areas of the boat, where they are being
washed. And if - if they are not using chemicals in
the water, the fish maybe eating chemicals as a
treatment for the lice or whatever.
So when I ask people who were even involved in giving a
licence, if there is such a thing as a licence for
dumping at sea, they tell me "oh but that's freshwater
they took it out of the quarry, that is freshwater that
they are dumping in the bay". Now, how could it be

freshwater? Definitely you wouldn't want to put it in
your whiskey. If you go, if you pull it back to water
you can drink that. But when you finish bathing you
can't drink it. If they are only bathing the fish that
is not drinkable and it is toxic, it is sewage and it
is dumped on a regular basis, all pipes go through it,
three pipes. Now, they don't do it out here any more,
they don't like being photographed, they do it above at
the jetty in front of the quarry. That must be the most
polluted part of the bay and that is a lot to be said
since Castletownbere is a world class polluter.
Now, if they are allowed to put the salmon farm at Shot
Head some of that, there is a dispersion map drawn
which goes around the corner of Shot Head and into the
estuary of the Dromagowlane River. Now, if the tide is
out when this procedure goes ahead and then comes in
with this weak inflow and outflow it is going to be
carried up into the estuary which is referred to as the
Trafrask River, that is a new one but up to the
Dromagowlane River where the pearl mussels are present.
Now, I have a question at this stage, Mr. Chairman,
have you visited the Dromagowlane River?
MR. CHAIRMAN: No, I haven't
MR. O'KEEFFE: Have you visited Shot Head?
MR. CHAIRMAN: No, I haven't
MR. O'KEEFFE: Well, I have some pictures. I know
trying to manipulate this is going to be time consuming
but I think it's important.

You are not the only one that hasn't visited the
Dromagowlane River. I don't think Marine Harvest has,
Marine Institute, Bord Uisce Mhara, Mr. Neil Bass --
DR. BASS: Yes, I have.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Oh you have.
DR. BASS: Yes, I have, many times.
MR. O'KEEFFE: More about that later. Before or after
you wrote the Environmental Impact Study?
MR. BASS: I was certainly down at Trafrask Pier before
I had finished the environmental statement, yes, I have
been down since.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Did you see a river?
MR. BASS: From the pier it is very difficult to assess
exactly how --
MR. O'KEEFFE: I didn't say to "assess" the river. I
said "did you see a river"?
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am going to stop this here. You will
have an opportunity to question --
MR. O'KEEFFE: He didn't answer my question or --
MR. CHAIRMAN: This is the last question then we move
on. Because I have to say, you know, we have heard a
lot about fairness and procedure. We are running
rapidly out of time and a lot of people have not been
heard yet.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Mr. Doyle got two hours.

MR. CHAIRMAN: Please do.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Did you see a river, not assess it, did
you see it?
DR. BASS: Yes, I saw the river.
MR. O'KEEFFE: I have a question for the legal minds
here, the definition of fraud, the definition of fraud
is quite wide and if you withhold information that
could be fraud. Or if you misrepresent something or if
you take photographs to misrepresent an area, can we
have information on that, is that fraud?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Can I ask you to proceed with your
presentation.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Okay. This is a picture of the
Dromagowlane River. And the other - when - fraud can
be a very loose term but anyone that caused this a
small river - for those who haven't visited it.
Just point of information, my qualifications here is
that I grew up - I was born in Glengarriff and I grew
up on the banks of the Erriff River which is half the
size of the Dromagowlane and we joked that we learned
to count sitting on the timber bridge counting the
salmon going under that bridge.
Now, if the Dromagowlane - anyone that tries to say
that the Dromagowlane is not a salmon river is trying
to, at least, deceive.

Now, there is another issue I would like to illustrate
here and it is how the authorities cook the books and I
say that with commitment. And the first slide I will
show you, to show you how the books are cooked, is the
Glengarriff Harbour which is part of Bantry Bay has raw
sewage going into the bay as does Castletown and every
village and town on Bantry Bay. However, the people who
are under the impression that everything is okay
because the water samples come up less than 10
coliforms per hundred mls. Now, this is the sewer going
in in Glengarriff Harbour, untreated and because the
people have been told that the water is just pure,
about three years ago they put in a swimming area and a
pontoon about a hundred metres to the left of this
picture. Now, further on this slide I'll show you
where the where the County Council, where they took the
samples. Here we go, that spot up there the purple spot
that designates where they took the water. Down at the
bottom here you have the harbour, that is a stream that
comes off the mountain and it is at the land side of
the bridge. The sewage is over here on the left corner
of the picture, the raw sewage. And that's - that is
what the agglomeration report says that is where they
took the sample. Nowm there is another sample and it
is out at the tip of - the turn where you go around
the harbour, probably the next cleanest water you could
find in Bantry Bay.
So, when they take samples like that, now there are

samples that have shown astronomical and we have them
but I am not going to bore you with the ones we did but
it was like there is something wrong here because we
were getting 9,000/ 10,000 coliforms per 100 mls.
Now, it says, one of the factoids here is that it is an
industry rule that unwritten regulation that a salmon
farm should be a certain distance away from a river
because of the pearl mussel and the trout and the
salmon. And that's how we came to find that the EIS had
excluded the Dromagowlane River. Now, the question was
it be design or was it by just plain neglect?
The young salmon receive three vaccinations. They are
picked up and injected on three occasions during their
life span. Now, why they have to be vaccinated and what
kind of disease they are being vaccinated against is
scarry enough but all vaccines contain either mercury
or alluminum. And we can't find anywhere because of
their conference secrets anything to tell us what is in
those vaccines. But most of them have an adjunct to
stimulate the host's immunity to make - to have the
salmon react to the vaccine. This may account for the
amount of toxic chemicals that are found in farm salmon
or organic farm salmon.
Now, when we talk about cooking the books, the report
from Marine Institute, sorry I omitted this when I was
talking about the condition and the number of coliforms

found in Bantry Bay and in Glengarriff Harbour and this
is a report from the Cork County Council in 2014. It
says;
"However, the number of sea classifications standard
results in the Bantry Bay inner area is a cause for
significant concern especially when one considers that
one of those results was greater than 18,000 MPNs
E-coli per hundred grammes of shellfish flesh and
inter-valthera fluid".
Now, we have other government entities who promote and
police this industry. How could that be when we are
told all is well? Anybody wants that, they can have
it.
The other bit of cooking that goes on here, I have a
report from contaminants and residue in Irish seafood.
And it shows that in 2003 it was off the chart compared
with the others. Yet when they put out the report it
was 2004 to 2008, so this was and I ask the industry
experts, I said "is there a name for this type of
behaviour?" "Yes, it is called paring" as in paring a
stick or a pencil.
And the same thing has happened with the follow up
report from 2008 to 2012. And I will call it cherry
picking but the industry name for it is "paring".

Might I add, at this stage, that the pearl mussel and
why I mention health issues and food safety and health
safety is because we are not pearl mussels and this is
not the only thing that's being endangered by this type
of activity.
The pearl mussel has a hard shell and it can filter
toxins and metals and chemicals. Unfortunately, human
beings don't have that facility. We are thin skinned
and we have a thing called the blood brain barrier.
And this stuff, when you consume it in your food, goes
straight to your brain. Is it any wonder we have the
amount of cancer and autism and Alzheimer's and
actually, according to the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Stephanie, she has traced autism and
suicide and criminality to consuming this type of food.
And even though the farm salmon doesn't leave an
obvious footprint what a footprint is that you know a
smoker will get lung cancer, somebody that inhales
asbestos will get asbestosis and metacoeloma. People
who took that thalidomide, had children without limbs.
So you say "oh, there is a footprint, we know, so we
know what causes it". But in - with the farm salmon
there is no footprint, it just mills in like terrorists
mills into the milieu of diseases. And on top of that
but where we will learn something is that when you take
somebody who is not well and you take them off of the
farm seafood or the farmed Atlantic salmon, they get

better. So, I call this the reverse footprint. Now
this has been done --
MR. CHAIRMAN: Sorry, Mr. O'Keeffe, I have to ask you
if you can move this along.

There are two centres in the United States where they

they have specifically stated and I have the document

salmon".
There we go, first yo "eliminate all simple
carbohydrates, gluten, processed food" --
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am sorry, going to have to make the
point again, that we are not here to go through the
science of food safety. And, you know, whether there
are links between certain types of food and Alzhimer's,
we don't have time for that. I doubt that any oral
hearing of this sort could possibly have time for that.
What I am going to ask you again --
MR. O'KEEFFE: I want to comment on that too, the
last time I was in this room it was - it was for the
hearing for the Whiddy disaster. And the inquest and
what not, is it 50 people lost their life tragically.
I think this project at Shot Head could theoretically
claim more lives and you want to limit it. I mean if
you don't want to hear it the public are the ones who
should be hearing it.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I need to ask you, if you want to round
up on your key points relevant to this Appeal.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Well, now the fisherman have reported
that fish caught around farm salmon are much heavier
and fatter and of a different colour than fish in the
open ocean.
Now, for safety reasons when fishing farm salmon are
treated with chemicals, there is a washout period for a
hundred days but this fish that, the opportunist, who -

fish that feed around the farm salmon are harvested and
processed and sent out to the public without any
washout period. That was something that I would like
Marine Harvest, are they doing anything about that and
if they have any thing to say or have the warned the
fish processors of this fact?
Now, the question of TBT came up yesterday, I
introduced it yesterday and people were asked what is
TBT? Well, TBT is a - it's a component of the fouling
paint used to foul boats. This leaches into the water
and I have the report from the engineers who did the
survey for the enlargement of Danish Ireland and they
reported this.
Now, the first layer of sludge was set in concrete and
taken to Germany for disposal. The second --

MR. O'KEEFFE: It is not relevant? I

have other people to hear from. I have given you as
much time as is reasonable. I have asked you to try
and wound up the points that you wish to make that are
relevant to this oral hearing and to this Appeal. TBT

MR. CHAIRMAN: Sorry, my role here is to try and make
sure this oral hearing moves along and everybody gets a
chance to speak. So, I am sorry, I am going to have to
go on and I am going to have call Galway Bay Against
Salmon Cages, thank you.
MR. CARR: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will attempt to
be as brief as possible. Firstly, could I object to
and place on record my view that this Oral
Hearing/Appeal is severely limited in it's scope and
procedures involved.
If I could make a short opening remark and say when I
first read the technical advisor's report, Dr. Graham
Saunders, I am indebted to him in regard to that part
of his report and learnt that the nearest river to the
proposed site, the Dromagowlane containing salmonids
and the important pearl mussel was not included in the
EIS. I immediately thought this was an appauling vista
or was it an incompetence? Was it overlooked or was it
arrogance or an attempt to deflect away from important
environmental considerations.
On mature reflection and after seeing yesterday's
stonewalling by senior Department officials on the
question of releasing a three year old report in regard

to the loss of 230,000 farm salmon in Bantry Bay, at a
site which I understand is 1 kilometre away from this
proposed site, I wonder whether I should also have
considered their involvement in a serious time lapse in
publicising the EIS.
I think a key question to be asked now, what date was
this EIS compiled? And in view of the matters of
scientific knowledge, since the date of that, whether
it was ten years ago or 15 years ago and at the fast
pace of scientific knowledge and the impact of climate
change, I would like to know what date was this EIS
compiled?
In moving on then and dealing with the three matters
that you have established this oral hearing for, in
dealing with the nature and risks, firstly to salmonids
in the Dromagowlane River, I note that people have
highlighted the question of lice and their movements. I
think a very important basic matter is the movement of
salmonids boats and whether they have been monitored in
Bantry Bay. Do they, when they come out of the rivers,
do they go north? Do they go south? Do they do both?
Do they stay awhile in the bay and meet up with their
friends and being social animals then head off after a
period of time out through the bay? I don't believe
that the EIS provides this important information.
A second matter is in regard to the smolts, I note that

Alan Kelly mentioned that they go close or under the
cages. It is my contention that some of them go
through the cages. I would like to know what is to
prevent them from entering the cages? What controls
are in place to stop other wild fish from entering
these open cages and being eaten by farm salmon? I
have recently seen a video from Dr. Alexander Morton in
British Columbia Canada which clearly shows descending
smolts from Canadian river, I think it was the Fraser
River being eaten by the farm salmon in cages, open
cages.
In regard to that, I would have to question, therefore,
having regard to the common fishery policy whether this
loss of wild fish is considered part of quotas for
fishery policy, having regard to their loss as to why
fish farmers should be allowed to use free fish in
their - in their feeding of their stocks and other
fishermen would have to include them in their quota.
Moving on then in regard to recent scientific papers,
Dr. Paddy Gargan has mentioned more recent scientific
information which he mentioned, I think Finstad and
Thorstad but the high density of salmon in cages has
provided a high number of potential hosts and promotes
the transmission and population growth of the parasite
as a result salmon farming has been shown to increase
the abundance of lice in the marine environment. And,
of course, this impacts on wild salmonids, both salmon

and sea trout.
And I would also refer to a recent papers, published
just in December 2016, I am not sure if it has been
peer reviewed yet, it is by Paddy Gargan and others.
And it is the 'Temporal variation in sea trout,
historical traits in the Erriff River', I will of
course give the information to the stenograph. And
basically what that says in layman's language, that
there was a positive relationship between the number of
salmon lice in salmon farms and the number of lice
found in sea trout.
And moving on then to the second - the associated
impacts on the pearl water mussel obviously, as we have
heard yesterday, that the demise of salmon and sea
trout, the wild salmon and sea trout and their
reduction in stocks going up a river, would obviously
have an effect on the freshwater pearl mussel that the
less wild salmonids means the less pearl mussel.
In regard to the third item on your agenda, in regard
to the robustness of the applicant's integrated pest
management plan or plans for single bay management, I
am perturbed in a way that this would be on your
agenda, given the fact that CLAMS is a voluntary
management tool. And if we examine the existing single
bay management for Bantry Bay, I am sorry, there isn't
one. Even though there has been fish farming in Bantry

Bay for quite a number of years, I would ask the
question why is there no existing single bay management
plan in Bantry Bay?
If I might refer to a recent decision of the
Commissioner for the Environmental Information under an
Appeal, brought by Billy Smyth of Galway Bay against
Salmon Cages against the Marine Harvest and the Marine
Institute. Briefly what it was, that Galway Bay
against Salmon Cages had sought information on diseases
and Marine Institute and Marine Harvest and I have to
be careful that I differentiate between the two, though
it can be difficult at times, that the refusal because
of commercial information was not accepted by the
Commissioner. He found that the refusal was not
justified and the Commissioner annulled the Institute's
decision and required it to make the withheld
environmental information available to the Appellant.
I would suggest that the attitude of both Marine
Harvest and the Marine Institute in accepting Marine
Harvest's reasoning does not look like that single bay
management is something that Marine Harvest welcome or
join in with.
There are other matters that time doesn't allow me to
go into in regard to single bay management, they are
well booked and the affects of chemicals and that they
use. I would make the point that, I understand that

the Finfish, salmon Finfish industry uses nets on top
of their cages to prevent birds damaging their stock.
Seals in Scotland and possibly here in Ireland but I
wonder how do they prevent and what may be a sizeable
amounts of juvenile of wild fish from entering their
installations and being eaten by their salmonids I
referred to.
Could I say that, finally, I would ask that this
proposal should be rejected, taken into consideration
the following; the more up-to-date scientific evidence
and peer review papers of recent years, that proved
beyond that doubt that lice from salmon farms impact on
wild salmon and sea trout. That the reduction of wild
salmon, will impact - or wild salmonids, will impact
and reduce if not threaten the survival of an important
and threatened species, namely the freshwater pearl
mussel. And with no existing single bay management and
unlikely to be one in the future, that the lack of one
would constitute gross negligence in salmon farm
management.
I would also like to say to Marine Harvest, I would
seriously suggest that they contact BIM and learn from
them the process for withdrawing an application, accept
that scientific evidence has caught up with their
discredited industry and they make arrangements now to
exit Ireland over a short timeframe as is practical,
thank you. (APPLAUSE)

MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. We have one
Appellant left and that is Save Bantry Bay but they
have requested to go after the - after the Department.
So, at this stage, I would like to ask Marine Harvest
Ireland if they wish to challenge the Appellants
arguments and to provide any other relevant
information.
MS. MCMANUS: Hello --
MR. FEENSTRA: Excuse me, could I ask for this slide to
be taken down, I think it is disrespectful to the Chair
and ALAB.
MR. O'KEEFFE: That is a PDF by the author of the EI --
MR. FEENSTRA: It is inappropriate.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Tell him it is inappropriate, I didn't
write it.
MR. FEENSTRA: You put it up there.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Mr. O'Keeffe, can I ask you to take it
down, please.
MR. O'KEEFFE: I just wanted to display the attitude to
the environment. This room is full of environmental
hit men.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Excuse me one second, I am going to
switch off the projector.
MS. O'HARA: Yes.
MS. MCMANUS: Thank you for this opportunity to for us
to try and address some of the concerns of the various
presentations from yesterday to today.

What we intend to do is split our responses between
myself and Dr. Neil Bass. And if I could I would just
like to begin with the topic of public participation
which the first presenter yesterday raised concerns,
that it was inadequate.
Just to say at the outset, at the very beginning, prior
to compilation of the EIS the company undertook a
scoping exercise, actually as far as we know is not a
requirement under Irish Aquaculture and Environmental
Legislation but we did it anyway because --
MR. BOYDEN: Sorry, Mr. Chair, I am not able to
understand because of feedback issues. Maybe she could
change position somewhere or for that to be rectified.
A lot of hissing.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is it better to use this microphone
here? Is this clear?
MR. SWEETMAN: It is probably the reaction to a mobile
phone.
MR. CHAIRMAN: It sounded okay here.
MR. SWEETMAN: There is a buzzing.
MR. CHAIRMAN: There is a buzzing generally.
MS. MCMANUS: Hello, is this any better? Just to go
back, we would just like to start with the issue of
public participation and some concerns yesterday that
we didn't take into consideration the views of various
stake holders. At the outset before - prior to
compilation of the EIS we undertook a scoping exercise
and as far as we know that there is actually no

requirement for this under the Irish Aquaculture and
Environmental legislation but we did it anyway because
we wanted to get a range of views from various parties.
And in that we consulted with more than sixty stake
holders group, organisations and individuals and we
really did our best to try and incorporate as wide a
field as stakeholders as possible beginning with
statutory consultees, professional bodies and other
associations including charities and local business and
commercial interests and private individuals and other
interests in this area. And we also included there was
concerns in relation to the impact on tourism. And we
did include Tourism Ireland, Failte Ireland in the
scoping exercise. And that really formed the basis
then of the structure of the EIS from there on in.
Subsequent then to - subsequent participation, when
our application was lodged in 2011 and it was
advertised then in early 2012, it was actually wildly
advertised in a number of local newspapers and at least
two national newspapers and in addition all subsequent
information sought by AMD section of the Department of
Agriculture Food & Marine was also published. All
information and documents relating to this application
were and still available on the Marine Harvest website,
we haven't taken anything down. We have endeavoured,
where possible, to try and address the concerns of all
the stakeholders who did participate in the
consultation period.

So, if I just may hand over now to Dr. Neil Bass who
will discuss other concerns.
MR. SWEETMAN: Actually can we comment on that before
we change to keep it in a tight frame? Can we comment
on her submission before we go to the next one and keep
it tight?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Okay, sorry, yes.
MR. SWEETMAN: Thank you very much for that, you
actually endorsed my position completely. Because your
public consultation that you dealt with was dealt with
under the regulations of the 1997 act. The public
consultation part was specifically amended under the EU
directive 2003/35 and was also amended under directive
97/11, neither of these were transposed into the
aquaculture legislation. And I would like to thank you
for making my point so clearly in your submission,
thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
DR. BASS: Good morning. My name is Neil Bass, I think
you now know, I have been involved with aquaculture in
Ireland for the best part of 40 years primarily in the
area of salmon farming and environmental studies.
My task in this case has been as a result of a
commission from Marine Harvest Ireland, my client, to
make a technical analysis as to whether Bantry Bay and
specifically Shot Head could sustainably support a
salmon farm site in the Shot Head head area.

The EIS required to be submitted as I think Catherine
has already pointed out to you, was actually written
seven years ago and was submitted six years ago. It is
a consequence of the licensing system under which this
process has gone forward that it has taken so long to
reach that point. I think that is regrettable for
everybody here.
New methodologies have been developed and perfected
during this time. And to the best of our ability we
have updated information on the basis of instruction
that has been given to us from the licensing body
arising from communication with both statutory and
public consultations.
We have heard verbal accounts from a number of
Appellants, both yesterday and today. And my job now
is to make some further observations on these as
quickly as I can. Many of the items raised comments
concerned from many Appellants and, therefore, what I
would like to do, is to deal with individual issues by
Appellants first and then to look at the common
concerns later.
From what I heard the main concerns arise from current
circulation in Bantry Bay. So, therefore, I will be
across the hydrodynamic model that was developed, the
dispersion model and the dispersion of lice and

discharges from the site which will all be dealt with
through a brief explanation of dispersion model and
pearl mussel.
Catherine has already commented on the first submission
which was made yesterday. So, I will move on from that
to the second submission yesterday which was from the
O'Shea family who described the importance of their
vessels in potting activities around the Shot Head
site. I have commented on their submission in the past
with reference to the best information available to me
and it was observed that much of the site area is over
rock and gravel, limiting the area as suitable ground
under the site area itself quite specifically. Although
I do note from maps that were supplied by Marine
Institute, that whilst some of the site areas are
included, there is fishing, potting grounds to the
south of the site and elsewhere in quite significant
quantity at the eastern end of Bantry Bay both on the
north and south shores. As a result it was submitted
that, I submitted, by my estimate, that approximately
.45 percent was taken up by this site and I suggested
this this was a reasonable splitting of the resources
amongst the stakeholders in the bay.
I would also like to go on to assure the O'Shea family
on the view that has been expressed about cooperation
between salmon farming enterprises and pots men and
other fishermen and this is exemplified by what goes on

around the Roan, Carrig and Aherbeg sites where there
is much cooperation and in fact there is potting going
up pretty well to the edge of the pens as and when
required.
I move on to salmon trust, Mr. Boyden's comments, he
has specific issue --
MR. BOYDEN: Point of order, Mr. Chairman?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MR. BOYDEN: I am representing the Coomhola Salmon and
Trout Anglers Association. I am --
MR. SWEETMAN: Hold on for a mic, we can't hear you.
MR. BOYDEN: Mr. Chair, I just want to make it clear
Dr. Bass I am here representing Coomhola Salmon and
Trout Anglers Association, okay.
DR. BASS: Thank you, Mr. Boyden. Thank you, Mr.
Boyden.
At this point I wish only to allude to the point made
by Mr. Boyden that the production figure for the site
was 3,000 tonnes per annum. In fact, it isn't 3,000
tonnes per annum it is 3,500 tonnes every two years.
He equated his 3,000 tonnes per annum figure to an
equivalent of 60,000 people living on the shores of
Bantry Bay.
In fact, no direct equivalence can be drawn in
particular on grounds of weight alone between the
impact of a salmon farm and a number of human beings in

this way, for a whole raft of reasons. Perhaps the
primary one is the analysis of the feed being eaten and
the feed conversion rate involved and the feed and feed
composition. Suffice it to say, however, that far and
away the major input into any Irish bay is from
agriculture. And probably in the range of 80 to 85
percent of nitrogen in the case of Bantry Bay.
More to the point, the objective of this application
documentation has been to demonstrate, via two separate
mordern methodologies, that the proposed site and the
salmon farming operation would not breach any EQS for
any nutrient indicator or for that matter medications
or lice and these issues will be addressed later but
nonetheless thank you, Mr. Boyden, for that comment.
MR. BOYDEN: Just a point of order, please?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MR. BOYDEN: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Dr. Bass, could
you on the corrected figures of three and a half tonne
every two year and allowing for different feed
conversion rates and metabolic rates, could you correct
my assumption of an unsewered population of 60,000
people? Could you, I presume downwardly revise that
figure? But could you put it, an equivalent human
population figure on that - on that figure of three and
a half thousand tonne every two years?
DR. BASS: Through the Chair, I wonder, I notice that
all the Appellants were given the opportunity to say
their pieces by and large without interruption. I am

trying to make a --
MR. CHAIRMAN: No, that is fair enough. I thought it
was fair to allow somebody to correct who they were
representing, I thought that was perfectly fair when he
said that. I think we could take up these points after
the presentation.
MR. SWEETMAN: Sorry, Mr. Inspector, this is very -
sorry I will talk anyway, use my political voice. This
is very strange what we are doing now. We are getting
evidence, evidence, amendments to an EIS basically.
DR. BASS: No, incorrect.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Actually, no, the licence Applicant has
been asked to respond to issues raised.
MR. SWEETMAN: Yes but he is also producing new
evidence.
DR. BASS: Incorrect.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I don't remember hearing any new
evidence.
MR. SWEETMAN: I think so, I think they are heading
that way.
MS. MCMANUS: No.
MR. SWEETMAN: Okay, okay, if they are not going to
head that way.
MR. O'KEEFFE: He mentioned "pearl mussels".
MR. SWEETMAN: That is allowed.

any further what I want to point out very strongly,
what we are talking about here is an assessment of

Bantry Bay. This is just about Bantry Bay.
MR. SWEETMAN: No, it is not.
DR. BASS: This is about a scientific assessment of
whether or not a salmon farm of a given size in a
different location is a sustainable prospect for Bantry
Bay. That is what we are here to discuss as far as I
am aware. So that is what I am going to discuss.
MR. O'DONOVAN: Sorry, Mr. Chairman on a point of order
there --
DR. BASS: Excuse me, Mr. Chairman, I would like to --
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am going to take questions
afterwards.
MR. O'DONOVAN: There are three, there are three points
on your Agenda that are down for discussion. What he
is talking about is not on your agenda that was given
out.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I think what he is referring to, if I
understand him, addressing all three points on our
agenda.
MR. O'DONOVAN: Sorry, but I disagree with you. He is
expanding on the whole thing about Bantry Bay, what
the reason for this meeting is to discuss the pearl
mussel in the Dromagowlane river.
MR. SWEETMAN: What he is trying to discuss is
something that was fundamentally lacking from the EIS,
which was the accumulative effects on this development,
that is what he is trying to mend. That was not in the
EIS and as such is not relevant, he can't say I am
going to now talk about accumulative affects. Before

he goes to the accumulative affects, I would like to
put - I will do it later, he is trying to mend
something which is not in - fundamental error in the
EIS which was the dealing of accumulative affects. And
the cumulative affects are not restricted to Bantry Bay
which he has just said.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am going to allow him to proceed until
I think he goes beyond what he said because there is
already a contradiction in what you said Mr. Sweetman.
He is either dealing with cumulative affects which
include Bantry Bay or go beyond Bantry Bay or not. He
said he is not addressing cumulative affects to the
effect that you would like them to be addressed --
MR. SWEETMAN: No, no, I am not allowing him to address
cumulative affects because cumulative affects was
something that was not in his EIS and if he is going to
produce a paper on cumulative affects that has to be
circulated for public consultation --
MR. CHAIRMAN: Absolutely, no, I agree with you. I am
not circulating any paper.
MR. SWEETMAN: No, not up for discussion cumulative
affects are not up for discussion because they are not
in the EIS and if --
MR. CHAIRMAN: Cumulative affects may be discussed to
the extent they have been raised by Appellants here.
MR. SWEETMAN: No, no, sorry, sorry, sorry, Sir, sorry
sorry, Sir --

DR. BASS: Mr. Chairman, could I please just make the
point that the agenda which we received on Friday last
week, a couple of working days ago, has as item 3;
"Licence holder Marine Harvest Ireland if they wish to
challenge the Appellants arguments and provide any
other relevant information". That is the task for this
section. Not unfortunately as item 3 on this Agenda
has turned out but that is what we have been tasked to
do now.
Marine Harvest had a further opportunity to issues
raised by the Board under Section 47 of the Fisheries
Amendment Act, 15 minutes at the end of this Agenda.
All we are doing is complying with the Agenda which we
have had for a couple of working days.
MR. SWEETMAN: Can I come back on that, please?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MR. SWEETMAN: Firstly, can you turn off your mic, we
are still here because of the major amendment to the
Agenda that we are now trying to comply with certain
laws, right. Normally - normally under the 2003/35
directive you were to implement, the developer
produces evidence, right rather than criticise. The
criticism comes later, right. But at the moment the
only mentions to cumulative affects yesterday were from
the audience was and I included and Mr. Doyle included,
that they were completely lacking from the EIS. So,
therefore, any mention of them right is extending

beyond the thing because there was no proper treatment
of cumulative affects and in fact no treatment at all
of cumulative affects in the EIS.
And I think, for example, as it stands at the moment,
thanks to the Department, it is impossible for Dr. Bass
here to actually address the cumulative affects because
he doesn't have, I presume he doesn't have the -
document on the escapees. And what the escapee
document, which has been kept secret for some reason
could show, that this site is much worse than the one
we got, we don't know that. And therefore the
Department has deliberately kept the public in the dark
here. I don't know if Marine Harvest have seen that
document but without seeing it, they cannot ascertain
that - that - their site they have chosen is safer than
the one where the 300,000 salmon escaped from.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If we stick to cumulative affects, Mr.
Sweetman, what I was going to say --
MR. SWEETMAN: I don't want to stick to them at all.
MR. CHAIRMAN: The fact that cumulative affects were
raised by An Taisce, who pointed out that the EIS did
not deal with cumulative affects --
MR. SWEETMAN: Yes.
MR. CHAIRMAN: -- to the extent that the Applicant
would like to contest that point, I will hear him.
MR. SWEETMAN: Okay, yes, if he can point as to where
he dealt with it.
MR. CHAIRMAN: That is the extent it will be dealt

with.
DR. BASS: Can I do that please, Mr. Chairman?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
DR. BASS: Because we seem to be somewhat at odds here,
in the sense that part of my task, as it set down the
list of things that must be addressed in the EIS was to
address the cumulative affects on Bantry Bay. This was
done in the EIS by the use of box modelling and the
standard technique that applies in this area. It was
further addressed by completely separate modelling
exercise, a much more accurate modelling exercise that
if you like, if you will, it colour in the patches
rather more than simply dealing with a boxed model by
the use of a development of a calibrated hyperdynamic
model and a dispersion model which was subsequently
issued and was submitted as part of the information, as
part of this EIS application process.
One of the points here is that we only had the
hydrodynamic model and dispersion model study in, it
really only started as a technology for us at about the
time the EIS was being written which was seven years
ago. So consequently it was submitted later and I
apologise for this. I should just say on that point
that, as far as we are aware right now, that
hydrodynamic and dispersion model is not on the MHI
web-site. It will certainly be on the MHI web-site. If
nobody has looked at it and they are concerned about
the addressing of cumulative affects, I would sincerely

ask that they look at that model as soon as it is
available on the Marine Harvest web-site.
MR. SWEETMAN: Sorry, Mr. Inspector, I have to object
now, I just have to object, I have to object to this.
The information we are now being told is not on the
Marine Harvest web-site it will go up on it later after
the hearing. I just - this is just unbelievable stuff
coming Marine Harvest.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If you allow me, I have a question for
Marine Harvest. And the question, the question if I am
correct you are saying cumulative affects were
addressed in the EIS?
DR. BASS: Yes, that is correct.
MR. CHAIRMAN: By box modelling and also by a
calobrated hydrodynamic model?
DR. BASS: The point I am making is that because the
EIS is now so old that was addressed subsequently.
That information was circulated as part of the overall
application package.
MR. SWEETMAN: Not on the web-site.
DR. BASS: Could I ask, for example, Mr. Saunders is he
aware of that hydrodynamic model and couple dispersion
model?
MR. SAUNDERS: Yes, I am and I did receive it, that was
the subsequent report that was sent from - subsequent
report that was done, supplementary report that was
done by RPS, is that correct?
DR. BASS: Yes, that is correct.
MR. SAUNDERS: Yes, I did receive it and I did consider

it in my report.
DR. BASS: Can I ask the Marine Institute if they
received it and whether that made up part of their
consideration?
MR. SWEETMAN: Sorry, Mr. Inspector, it doesn't matter
whether the Marine Institute received it or not, the
general public did not and this is public consultation,
it is not a closed shop between the Marine Institute
and the Department and all the people who are pro
salmon, madly, religiously pro salmon farming. The
public were not given this document and the fact that
Mr. Saunders got it, how did you get it? Sorry, how
did you get it Mr. Saunders? On paper?
MR. SAUNDERS: I received it as part of the full
package that was sent to me for consideration by
Aquaculture License Board.
MR. SWEETMAN: Lovely, thank you. My client's, right,
who made an objection to this document, were never made
aware of this document. This is a fundamental,
fundamental flaw in the whole thing. I must thank
Marine Harvest for bringing it to the attention of the
hearing that they failed miserably.
DR. BASS: I just like to say, Mr. Chairman, I don't
see that as being a fault of Marine Harvest, all this
information was submitted in good faith to the
aquaculture and foreshore management division as part
of this process. And Marine Harvest would surely have
expected that to have been made available at least all
the Appellants if not further afield.

MR. SWEETMAN: I am very sorry it wasn't and that is
it.
MS. O'HARA: Was it part of the Section 47 request?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Was this the original license
application?
MS. O'HARA: If it was the original license the copy
and papers that all Appellants lodged was copied to
every party. So, I think it may have been part of the
Section 47 information.
DR. BASS: Yes, it was Section 47.
MR. LUIJKEN: Mr. Chair, may I make a remark about this
here? May I make a remark in connection about what was
said just by Marine Harvest. I sent seven years ago a
long e-mail with 20 questions, very technical, about
food, about the fish, about all bad things regarding to
salmon and I never got one answer. That is seven years
ago. That is what I want to say.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. I don't think we
can take details of the calibrated hydrodynamic model
if that hasn't been circulated.
MS. O'HARA: No, it hasn't been circulated.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Can I ask you to proceed without talking
about that.
DR. BASS: Before I do proceed, Mr. Chairman, I do want
to make it clear that was submitted in good faith to
the Aquaculture and Foreshore Management Division and
if that wasn't circulated by them, there is no reason
why we should have known whether or not it was
circulated by them. But I think if it was not

circulated by them that at this stage severely
disadvantages Marine Harvest in respect of this
application. And I would request the chance to make a
small submission on that to the parties gathered here,
for their public interest, to understand what we tried
to execute and what the findings of that were. It
reflects, in particular, on the matter of the dispersal
of discharges from the site and perhaps more than
anything else on sea lice. And without making a
submission about it, in the very local area within
boxes of less than 20 square metres in that area,
without being able to do that, I really can't see how I
can give a constructive view to the people here as to
what we had discovered during that process.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Two things I want to say, can I just
clarify, first of all, you say this was submitted in
good faith. Was it submitted in good faith to the
Department or to ALAB?
DR. BASS: As far as I am aware, Mr. Chairman, it was
submitted in good faith to AFMD, to the Department.
MR. CHAIRMAN: As part of the original application?
MS. MCMANUS: No subsequent.
DR. BASS: Can I ask my client to clarify this, please,
Mr. Chairman. Because if I can't talk about it, Mr.
Chairman, Mr. Saunders can't talk about it either.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, we are going to adjourn for ten or
fifteen minutes.

THE PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED AT 12:35PM AS FOLLOWS:
MR. CHAIRMAN: Okay, can I ask people to reconvene,
please.
Okay, apologies for the confusion, we have finally
tracked down the document in question, the calibrated
hydrodynamic model document, the title I put on it for
now. There was some confusion in that. An earlier
version of this document was - which didn't contain the
dispersal ,the sea lice dispersal data, had formed part
of the mid-application release of information during
the original licence application. And that was made
available on Marine Harvest web-site.
The updated version which does contain the data from
the studies on sea lice dispersal was submitted to ALAB
under Section 46 of the '97 act under which the power -
the Board has the power to request submissions or
observations. And it did so from Marine Harvest and it
received - in further information it also received a
copy of this report. And this report is - was
available at ALAB offices and available for inspection.
So, on that basis, I am going to allow that data to be
presented.
MR. SWEETMAN: Sorry, Sir, I am very sorry --
MR. CHAIRMAN: It was also referred to in numerous
documents including the technical advisors report.
MR. SWEETMAN: Sorry, sorry, can I have a mic, please.

The fact it was in the ALAB offices, completely and
utterly irrelevant because we requested all the
documents to be sent on to, my client's requested them
and I think Tony Lowes did as well and it wasn't sent
on. We were led to the opinion that, by ALAB, that we
had all the documents. We did not have all the
documents. I didn't - I read through the stuff and I
thought I had all the documents, I hadn't all the
documents. So, it wasn't circulated when you request,
firstly on a separate point, firstly, the fact that we
had to request the documents for the Appellants was
pretty disturbing. And that becomes - public
consultation is very poor and when we requested these
documents we did not get this one. We have been denied
- the public have been denied the right to proper -
this is something I don't know anything about. I would
have to ask somebody else. I haven't got somebody else
here. In fact I don't even know at this stage who I
would ask. But certainly I am not going - I can't
believe something that is put in like this and such
like and as to this developer, I don't believe anything
they say because the record shows that they are not
proper, fit and proper person basically. So there are
into too many unauthorised developments around the
place already, between them Brendan - what thye call
themselves, but there has been too much of that. I
believe nothing from them and I will have to get
professional advice on this document which was not
circulated to us when we requested all the documents.

That is the point, we requested all documents, we did
not get this one. Mr. Doyle wants to back me up.
MR. DOYLE: Mr. Chairman, I formally object to the
admission of this document. Where additional
information is received, I say there was a legal
obligation on ALAB to circulate it to all the parties.
And if it does not do so and if the document contains
relevant information, then it is denying the Appellants
their rights of natural justice. And it cannot - the
Board cannot take a valid determination without
circulating the material.
It is also a breach of the public participation
requirements of the EIA directive and a breach of my
right to be consulted and to make submissions in
relation to the document. I would very much like to see
this document. I would like time to assess it to
consider it whether it actually deals with the
cumulative affects point I made and to make a
submission to the Board in that respect. That is my
submission.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
MR. QUINLAN: Chairman, Chairman?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Please.
MR. QUINLAN: Thank you, Chairman, I appreciate the
clarification. Sorry about that, I appreciate the
clarification which you gave but for the avoidance of
all doubt, Dr. Bass has placed on the record that the
document that he was alluding to appears to have been

submitted to the Aquaculture and Foreshore Management
Division of the Department. I think from our checking
here we have confirmed, in so far as we could check it,
that is not the case. It may well have been submitted
to ALAB. The document, an earlier version, as you
correctly state, was released to the public as part of
the release of information and therefore is in the
public domain. But the specific document that I
understand he is alluding to --
MR. SWEETMAN: Turn your phones off.
MR. QUINLAN: They are off, I apologise, was not
submitted to the Department. It appears to have been
submitted to ALAB and also postdates the Minister's
decision, in itself could not have form part of the
Minister's consideration. I would grateful if the
record would reflect that, thank you.
DR. BASS: Through the Chair, Mr. Chairman, my
apologies that is, in fact, correct. The final
document was not submitted to the Department because
the process by that stage was an Appeal, it was
submitted, I believe under Section 47 to ALAB.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Section 46?
DR. BASS: Sorry Section 46.
MR. SWEETMAN: And not put on your web-site which
purported to carry all the documents.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am afraid I am going to have to rule
that we will hear this testimony because otherwise our
own advisor's report has been based on this, has taken
account of this. It is a very important document, I

want to hear about it and it was made available. We
have complied with the or the 1997 act.
MR. SWEETMAN: Sorry, Mr. Inspector, that is the
problem, that is the huge problem of this Inquiry. It
complied with 1997, I am more interested in complying
with the current European legislation, right. And this
complied, it doesn't comply with the current European
legislation. That is my point on which I was going to
walk out, I reluctantly stayed here. It doesn't
comply, it complies with the '97, the '97 legislation
has been amended twice. There is a section comes into
them and the 2011 act also would come into place on
implementing our house. This is a fundamental human
right under our house for us to be consulted properly.
Can I have a copy, before he presents the document, can
I have a copy of it, please?
MR. CHAIRMAN: I don't have a copy of it.
MR. SWEETMAN: As there are no copies available, we
can't possibly discuss it
MS. O'HARA: No, I can e-mail a copy.
MR. SWEETMAN: How many pages is it?
DR. BASS: 110, I think.
MR. SWEETMAN: I read very slowly, I will come back
next week.
DR. BASS: It's got lots of pictures.
MR. SWEETMAN: I will look at them very thoroughly as
being a trained photographer. I would look at them
very thoroughly, I would question a lot of them. The
legislation does not permit this sort of thing to

happen. The Department has even admitted and we are
talking here, we are going to talk about the '97
legislation which I reluctantly agreed to. The '97
regulations is an Appeal. This document was
subsequently presented, right. I am appealing without
- with reservations, without looking at my rights but I
am appealing at this moment the decision of the
Department. The Department decision has been proven
once again to be fundamentally flawed because they had
to produce this document. The Department's decision
relevant to appropriate assessment is fundamentally
flawed. So basically there is no way permission can be
granted for this under the '97 regulation where you are
considering it to be an Appeal. If we had gone and
adapted the law to suit the modern developments and
that ALAB was looking at this de novo, yes, the
developer could have come in, made his submission in
the normal sense and things went from there. But, no,
the Agenda was set under the '97 legislation. We are
appealing the decision of the Minister. The decision
of the Minister is fundamentally flawed now on two
counts.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, that is duly noted. Now, I
move over to - to Mr. Bass.
DR. BASS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
MR. SWEETMAN: Sorry the document can even be e-mailed
to us. We can't - you can't take a 107 page document
and suddenly produced on evidence where you said
nothing was written, are you going to read all 107

pages into the record and project the pictures? We
have to get one way or the other.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Under the procedures set down in the 1997
act this was submitted to ALAB and it was available for
inspection.
MR. SWEETMAN: You see, that is not good enough. Sorry
that is the problem with that --
MR. CHAIRMAN: I understand that is your position.
MR. SWEETMAN: No, no, that is the position. The point
is - the point is we asked for all the documentation,
we were sent documentation. We shouldn't have had to
ask for it in the first place. We got it at very short
notice. We shouldn't have had to ask for it, we did
ask for it and this was excluded. Now, before this
document can be put into under the fundamental rules of
EIA we have a right to be informed. I can't - he is
going to talk about - he is going to talk I presume
about 107 page document, he is not going to read it all
into the record, I have no and I am totally unable to
question him on it because I don't know whether he is
misquoting it, selectively quoting it or being
downright disingenuous on it, right. I have a right to
have that document in front of me when he is quoting
from it.
APPELLANTS: Fair, fair. (APPLAUSE)
MR. O'DONOVAN: I requested from - from ALAB a copy of
all documentation. I explained that Portlaois was a
long ways up the country and an awful lot of
documentation there and really have to be able to

photocopy it or get records of it in some other
fashion. I politely requested under the EU directive
that all the information and correspondence available
to ALAB would be made available to me and my members.
I got a letter saying that everything relevant to this
inquiry would be sent on. Now it appears that
everything relevant to this inquiry has not been sent
on. So I object in the strongest possible manner in
proceeding with something which we did not receive.
MR. SWEETMAN: Actually, sorry, Mr. Inspector, I forgot
to add that to it. We documentation was requested
under 2003/35 access to information on the environment
legislation and they requested the full - the full
documentation. The full documentation was not made
available. So ALAB is distinctly at fault because they
didn't refuse it, they made no mention of it, right.
If we go back to the use of a judgement in Belgium and
the European Court that is an offence.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
MR. DOYLE: Sorry, Mr. Chairman. In light of the fact
that people have requested all of the documents, have
been told that they received all of the documents and
in light of my own position where An Taisce became
aware of this Appeal on the 23rd of January and has
been struggling to obtain and go through all of the
documents since then, it is my position that this oral
hearing cannot - cannot give a fair hearing to the
Appellants if - if the developer is allowed to open
these documents at this stage. And in those

circumstances I would apply to you to adjourn the oral
hearing. And I say that if you do not do so, that this
hearing will not comply with requirements of natural
justice. It will not be fair. It does not give the
parties an adequate opportunity to be heard. I also say
it doesn't comply with the requirement of effective
participation under Article 5 of the EIA directive.
And that is the basis of my application now to adjourn
the proceedings, to give us the opportunity to consider
this document.
MR. SWEETMAN: I support that.
MR. CHAIRMAN: What I will suggest we adjourn till
after lunch and let we consult my Board colleagues and
we will make a decision at 2 o'clock, okay.

THE PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED AT 2PM AS FOLLOWS:
MR. CHAIRMAN: Okay, I had an opportunity to consult
with the chairman of the Board. And in light of the
fact that a number of seminally important documents
have not been made available to everyone, not alone the
data from the category of hydrodynamic model but what
we propose to do is to adjourn for a period of between
four and five weeks, I can't give you a definite date,
we will have to check the availability of a venue,
availability of our technical consultants, etcetera.
So, a date, we will notify everyone of a date in four
to five weeks, we will make a decision on the venue, on
the duration, whether one or two days.
MR. SWEETMAN: I think allow two, allow two, always
finish early.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We will make, we are making available
right away but certainly by the very beginning of next
week all documents received by the Board under Section
46 and Section 47, all additional information will be
made available on the web.
So, if anybody has any submission to make about the
adjournment and about when we reconvene now would be
the time?
MR. DOYLE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wonder in light
of the adjournment will the Board give public notice of
the - that the oral hearing is taking place and invite
public comment in relation to it? I was approached by

one individual this morning who informed me that he had
just found out about the oral hearing and that he would
have wished to make a submission had he known about it.
And in the context, in the light of my earlier
submissions, I wonder will the Board give public notice
of the resumption of the oral hearing and accept public
submissions from interested members of the public at
that stage?
MR. CHAIRMAN: A decision will be made on that, check
the act, check our obligations and we make a decision
on that.
MR. DOYLE: Thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Peadar?
MR. O'MAOLAIN: Thank you. Just in relation to the
resumed hearing, when it commences or recommences
following the adjournment and in light of the
significant new volume of material that will be
available, I would ask that the Appellants be afforded
the opportunity to include a written addendum to their
Appeals, in view of the fact that this new evidence is
now to be made available. And I think that could
expedite and net down the positions of the - it could
net down the positions of the Appellants significantly
and ultimately save time if they were permitted to do
so. And it may involve their experts in respect of
doing that, that is the first point.
The second point I would make is just that, I would
commend to the Board that the adjournment should take

us beyond the date of the judgement which is to be
delivered by Judge Baker. And thereby there could no
longer be any ground for the report which is being
treated as being sub judicis, whether it is or not, in
any event following that judgement I ask that that
report be provided to ALAB and that it be made
available to the parties. So that that can also be
dealt with.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MR. O'MAOLAIN: I think that does two aspects could be
partially cured at any rate by that. And it will
provide for access to information proper participation
and it will validate to some extent, to a greater
extent, the proceedings and the ultimate determination.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Certainly take account for
that certainly.
MR. O'KEEFFE: Yes. Will we be allowed present new
information at the retrial or rehearing? Will we be
allowed present new material?
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am going to suggest that to the extent
that it is related to the new information, yes
MR. O'KEEFFE: Just related to new information. It has
become painfully obvious to me that Marine Harvest
don't mind, no skin off their nose if they go down and
can't build another salmon farm at Shot Head because of
the pearl mussel or the Dromagowlane River and the
otter. But under no circumstances can they lose
because of a defective product called farm salmon. And

that is what is in the interest and the well-being of
the public.
MR. O'DOHERTY: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My name is
Donal O'Doherty and I am speaking on behalf of the
Federation of Irish Salmon and Sea Trout Anglers. I
would like to state that in our view the postponement
of this hearing is not feasible because of the fact
that due to the fact the information provided to the
technical expert here, Mr. Saunders, he has already had
view of the technical information that Marine Harvest
gave. Therefore, the Appellants of which we are one
are at a profound disadvantage. The new hearing would
have a different agenda altogether. We cannot postpone
or defer this hearing here because we need a new agenda
totally. Therefore you can't postpone this hearing
here because this hearing has been found to be totally
unfair to the Appellants and faithfully flawed in the
way it has been managed. And most of the people here
that gave evidence at this hearing did so under
protest.
So, therefore, I call on you not to defer this hearing
or reconstitute this hearing, we need a totally new
hearing. Because we are taking a totally new agenda,
with new information, has to be new submissions made
from everybody here that is interested in making
submissions. It has to go to public consultation
again. It has to be advertised properly and everybody
that needs to give information and everything else, all

that information has to be available to each and ever
person that has an interest in this Shot Head farm
application. So, I am calling for this hearing to be
adjourned. A new hearing to take place which is
totally - has to happen now because this hearing has
been found to be unfair and fatally flawed, thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Okay, if there are no more comments we
will adjourn. Thank you very much.
