DUBLIN, Ireland: Following a large oil leak at Kilbogget Park in south Dublin that damaged the environment and led to the rescue of a swan family, Bank of Ireland has apologized.
Wildlife responders are describing the incident, which took place last week near Cabinteely, as one of the most severe pollution events they have encountered. Kildare Wildlife Rescue (KWR) feared that the high levels of pollution were endangering the health of the birds, therefore they took four cygnets and two adult swans from the park.
KWR’s rescue coordinator, Pearse Stokes, stated, “This was one of the heaviest oil spills dealt with in 12 years of wildlife rescue.” He described the oil smells as exceptionally strong and referred to Kilbogget Park as a “jewel in the crown” of south Dublin’s biodiversity.
In response, the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County authority (DLRCC), the local authority, installed absorbent pads and booms to prevent more contamination. They attested that the swans were taken out with the assistance of their employees, volunteers, and KWR, and that the rescue center is currently taking care of them.
The Bank of Ireland location in Cabinteely was the source of the oil leak. The bank stated that no additional pollution had been found and affirmed that it had taken prompt action to contain the spill.
