Efforts by a community to restore a river where a massive fish kill occurred, two years ago, are being celebrated during the May bank holiday weekend.

A free, family-friendly festival is taking place in Ennistymon, County Clare, over the May Bank Holiday Weekend, bringing together locals, volunteers, visitors and environmentalists to mark positive steps being taken to protect, restore and enhance local rivers.
