An investigation is under way after hundreds of fish were found dead in the Tolka River near Damastown in Dublin.
RTE News reports that an investigation is underway following the discovery of hundreds of dead fish in the Tolka River near Damastown in Dublin. The dead fish, which included brown trout, eel, stickleback, lamprey, and minnow, were found over a 2km stretch of the river. Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) reported that more than 500 dead fish were initially found, and samples have been taken for analysis.
An interagency group, comprising representatives from Fingal County Council, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Parks and Wildlife Service, was convened to investigate the incident. The IFI has since established a definite line of enquiry and completed its role. The public is encouraged to report any instances of fish kills, water pollution, habitat destruction, or illegal fishing to the IFI's confidential number 0818 34 74 24.
