“Chlorosporidium” when others call it Cryptosporidium<\/a>
\nwikipedia<\/a> Trivia says “Cryptosporidium infected the drinking water of Galway<\/a>, Ireland<\/a> in March 2007, causing many illnesses.” :::: I remember a Cryptosporidium outbreak in Scotland in 2000, may have caused a few deaths to old folk.<\/p>\n

Chlorosporidium is a one word google whack with one result. (real google whacks needs two words in googles dictionary)<\/p>\n

Cryptosporidium<\/a> has 1.2M results in google.<\/p>\n

more strange, while I heard Deputy Kenny say Chloro the dail record has him written up as crypto (repeatedly corrected), can I be hearing things or is the written word a lie as Johnny Lydon sang in my disclaimer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This morning, I met the directors of a number of aid agencies to discuss the question of clean drinking water in developing countries. On the morning the Government will launch its environmental programme, it is ironic that I raise the question of clean drinking water in one of the richest countries in the developed world.<\/p>\n

According to the health services, the people of Galway face a health epidemic because of the contamination of their water supply. The Health Service Executive is now informing people – particularly the elderly, very young and vulnerable – that they could die from the contamination of water with cryptosporidium.<\/p>\n

In response, the Minister for the Environment and Local Government has given a juvenile and irresponsible performance and he has hived off blame to everyone except himself. As has been pointed out on numerous occasions, there has been a \u20ac600 million underspend across the broader region. This means that places like Oughterard, Headford, Clonbur and Claregalway have completely insufficient sewerage systems.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
