Fisheries plan legal action on mudslides

THE Shannon Regional Fisheries Board (SRFB) could take legal action against whoever was responsible for the Derrybrien peat landslide in Co Galway, it emerged last night.

The SRFB is extremely concerned that there have been three landslides in the south Galway area during the last 18 months.

“The board is continuing its investigations into the incident,” SRFB chief executive officer Eamon Cusack said.
