Anglers fear emissions will wipe out river’s fish

Anglers have expressed fears a river’s salmon and trout stocks will be wiped out by pollution which they claim is possibly emanating from a waste treatment plant and a speciality cheese factory.

The Womanagh Angling and Development Association in East Cork have pointed the blame at Cork County Council and, to an extent, Dairygold.

Locals claim the River Kiltha is being seriously harmed by emissions flowing from the agri co-op’s plant in Mogeely and the council’s waste water treatment plant at Castlemartyr.
