Sinn Féin Calls On All Candidates To Support Haulbowline Clean-Up

Cork East Sinn Fein Election Candidate Cllr. Sandra McLellan, is calling on all candidates in the constituency to give a commitment of support to the people of Cobh and other Harbour communities, for a Baseline Health Study of the Cork Harbour region, and a total clean up of the toxic dump on Haulbowline.

Councillor McLellan said some of the candidates and political parties who are expected to be in Government soon, had in the recent past spent a lot of effort criticising former Green Minister John Gormley for failing to deal with the Haulbowline Dump, and his governments refusal to grant a Base Line Health Study of the Harbour. This followed reports that people suffer with higher than national average cancer rates in the harbour town of Cobh.

Sandra McLellan is now calling on all the other candidates to support her party’s call for whoever makes up the next government to immediately commit to an independent baseline health study of Cork Harbour and a complete clean up of Haulbowline.
