A fish kill on the Ballinderry River in Co Tyrone has mostly likely wiped out this season’s young fish, according to BBC News.

Dead fish in the river near Cookstown were reported on Tuesday (30 May), with the Western Shore Angling group saying they’d received “numerous other reports”.

It’s understood that officials from the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) have been on site to investigate the source of the fish kill.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
