CONCERN OVER POLLUTION OF LOUGHREA WATER
Date Published: 12-Apr-2011
Residents of the Rathready area of Loughrea are concerned after dead horses were found in a local river.
The river is a tributary of the Dunkellin River.
Officials from the environmental section of Galway County Council are to investigate if the water supply has been polluted as a result.
This latest incident follows the discovery of four dead dogs near a playground in Tuam last Sunday.
The dogs, which had been neglected, were shot in the head.
