I am aware that an extensive fish kill took place recently in the River Martin near Rathduff.
Investigations into the cause of the fish mortality were initiated immediately after the occurrence by the Cork Board of Conservators which is responsible by statute for the protection of fish bearing waters in the district. My Department is supplying advice as required.
