Noel Carr, secretary of the Federation of Irish Salmon and Sea Trout Anglers, told BBC News NI that the fish kill was “devastating to the soul”. “This has set the river back for about 10 years now,” Mr Carr said. “You’re talking about two salmon life cycles lost just like that.” Mr Carr said the river was under a conservation order and was currently in the process of recovery. He described the sheer amount of fish killed as incredibly worrying and hoped the IFI investigation would find out the cause of the kill as soon as possible.
