Government withholds report into Donegal fish farm disaster
The report is expected to dismiss as remote the prospect of harbour dredging being responsible for the massive fish kill. Scientists are adamant the cause was a water borne irritant, biological or chemical in nature.
The Department of Marine and Natural Resources has ruled out compensation for fish farmers, whose losses are expected to top 4m. More than 300,000 caged salmon mysteriously died during a 10-day spell earlier this month in Inver Bay.
