Cork fish kill report calls for single agency to lead pollution responses after it finds 'detection gap'

The suspected pollution source in Ireland's largest fish kill remains undetermined despite Inland Fisheries Ireland investing almost €43,000 into the investigation

Pictured are some of the 41,801 fish killed during the Blackwater incident, of which up to 32,178 were brown trout and salmon.

An independent report on the Blackwater fish kill investigation in Cork has highlighted a "detection gap" in pollution events across the country and recommended a single agency lead and direct responses from now on.

That is just one of number of recommendations in the report compiled by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).
