Tirlán, previously Glanbia, faced legal action for polluting a tributary of the Knappagh River with toxic effluent from its dairy processing plant in Monaghan. The incident resulted in harmful levels of organic material that threatened local aquatic life, particularly affecting brown trout habitats. Despite admitting fault, the company avoided fines by donating to charity and paying the legal costs of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI). Measures have since been adopted to prevent future occurrences, including enhanced monitoring protocols at the facility.
