It is believed at least 20 dead fish were seen in 'white milky' water. The stream is a tributary of a local river which runs into the important Inch Lake.

 

Officials from Donegal County Council were on site yesterday evening and are due back at the location today along with a team from Inland Fisheries Ireland.

The latest incident comes just over a week after a fish kill in a tributary of the River Finn, between Killygordon and Stranorlar.

 

The Loughs Agency is investigating the incident.
