Massive fish kill as heatwave hits lake
The fish were first noticed last Thursday off Our Lady’s Island Lake in South Wexford. The clean-up operation continued yesterday and it could be several more days before all the fish have been removed in an incident which has wiped out all life in the 1,500-year-old lake.
“The temperature of the water has increased rapidly in the past days, rising to 23 degrees,” said environmental officer Tadhg O’Corcaire.
