The River Deel this Thursday
UISCE Éireann has assured customers that “there has been no impact on the quality of drinking water” after an incident at Castlemahon Water Treatment Plant in west Limerick.
On Thursday, Limerick Live reported that an investigation was underway after a fish kill on the River Deel.
It took place in Castlemahon that morning with local fisherman Joe Hurley saying it was “shocking”.
“The whole river is destroyed. There's trout floating everywhere. We don't know how many fish have been killed because the pollution has been going into the river for hours and the fish float away down with it,” said Joe, who took a photo of dead trout on the riverbank.
In response to a query from Limerick Live, a spokesperson for Inland Fisheries Ireland said staff were at the River Deel on Thursday afternoon and “investigating the scene".
