Councillor Gael Gildernew has welcomed confirmation from the NI Environment Agency (NIEA) that a leak which emanated from industrial premises at Granville Ecopark on May 8 was indeed a gas leak – albeit not dangerous in nature.
He told Assembly members at the time: “The gas network company has confirmed that it was not a gas leak, and Granville Ecopark Ltd has confirmed that it was a leak of the odorant used in the gas-to-grid process.”
This has been confirmed by both Granville Ecopark Ltd and the gas network operator, Evolve, who attended the site on the day.
“But just to highlight that that was a gas leak.
It may not have been a dangerous gas, but it was a gas leak.
