I am advised that the matter was investigated by the North West Fisheries Board and the Environmental Protection Agency. I have also been advised that there does not appear to be an ongoing problem from a nature conservation viewpoint. However, officials of Dúchas, the heritage service of my Department, will monitor the area to ensure that the integrity of the site, which is part of a candidate special area of conservation and of a special protection area, is maintained.
