Environmental officer denies fish kill claims

An environmental officer for one of the firms facing charges relating to an alleged fish kill denies it was a fish kill and says a “negligible” number died.

Peter Quigley, an environmental health and safety manager for Wills Bros, was continuing his evidence about the May 10, 2017, incident in which Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) claims as many as 400 fish died during works on the Bandon river — currently one of the biggest drainage projects in Europe.
