Environmental fisheries officers have been at the river where a large number of dead fish have been found over a 4km stretch from Dunleer to the River Dee.

The fish include adult and juvenile salmon and trout, eels, minnow and stoneloach.

The investigation to locate the source of the pollution has been continuing since Friday last when a member of the public alerted the Inland Fisheries Ireland.
