Clare locals mystified by strange river ‘eruptions’

Clare County Council will deploy divers to investigate recent "eruptions" in a river that has left locals mystified.

In recent months, locals in Clarecastle have reported unusual eruptions in the River Fergus at the local quay, a popular recreational area.

Without notice, water suddenly bursts through the surface up to 3ft into the air before dissipating again usually after about 30 seconds to a minute.
