RTE News – “It is understood that the problem was first noticed this morning and that large quantities of dead fish have been seen flowing downstream all day.

A statement on the Wicklow County Council website said that they have temporarily shut off raw water supply intake from Vartry River to our Water Treatment plant at Cronroe as a precaution.

Local sources said reports had been received of dead fish as high up the river as Roundwood, and as far down the river as Ashford.

It is also understood that a dead heron has also been found, although it is not clear if this is related to the fish kill.

A source in Inland Fisheries Ireland confirmed the matter is under investigation, but would not speculate about how extensive the problem is or what the cause might be.” Source – RTE News.
