  • FISSTA LEGAL NOTICE ALTERS MINISTER COVENEY’S STRATEGY

    FISSTA REFUSE TO WITHDRAW LEGAL NOTICE AGAINST SALMON CAGES DESPITE PARTIAL CLIMBDOWN BY MINISTER COVENEY AS ANNOUNCED IN THE IRISH TIMES
    FISSTA has informed Minister Coveney that the legal notice already lodged with his office against the Galway Bay mega fish farms plan will not be withdrawn despite his impending climb down as announced yesterday in the Irish Times.
    FISSTA Chairman Paul Lawton stated that ??????We have consistently argued and campaigned for the Minister and his Government to review the present cutting edge technologies that are in operation by salmon farmers at the top of their industry who advocate a sustainable closed contained RAS or Recirculation Aquaculture System. This is the only method of producing farmed salmon that can deliver his projected 45,000 tons in 2017 rather than 2023 without damaging our wild Atlantic salmon in their habitat for which this state must protect and are failing dismally.??????

    ??????No danger?????? to water supply after Limerick pollution incident

    The local authority is investigating a water pollution incident in the Drumcamogue river, a tributary of the Camogue river near Knocklong ?in East Limerick. The Camogue is a tributary of the Maigue river, which flows through Adare.

    Slurry is believed to have been the cause of the pollution, but this has yet to be confirmed.

    The local authority is monitoring the incident in association with Inland Fisheries Ireland, but it believed that an extensive number of trout and salmon may have been killed.

    It??????s believed an agricultural source in Co Tipperary is the most likely cause of the incident and the Council is working with Tipperary County Council and Inland Fisheries Ireland to identify the source.


    The local authority is reassuring members of the public that there is no danger to the public water supply.
