Donal Hickey: Ongoing problem of eel kills at Ardnacrusha
Ecofact environmental consultant Will O'Connor with some of the eels kill on the lower Shannon during Storm Barra.
A Limerick-based scientist has claimed a large number of eels were killed at the Ardnacrusha electricity generating station because the ESB was taking too much water from the Shannon, without having adequate mitigation in place.
The kill occurred on the lower Shannon during Storm Barra, on the night of December 7/8 last, as the eels were trying to pass downstream at the hydroelectric station.
