Over 500 fish dead in 'significant' fish kill in Co Kildare

Over 500 fish, including brown trout, lamprey, and others, have been found dead in a 4km stretch of the River Rye near Maynooth, Co Kildare. Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is investigating the 'significant fish kill,' though the cause remains undetermined. Water and fish samples have been collected for analysis, and multiple agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Kildare County Council, are involved in the investigation. This follows a similar incident in 2022 where 500 brown trout died in Leixlip, Co Kildare. IFI has emphasized collaboration with government agencies under a new national protocol for such cases.
