Fish and other aquatic stocks taking a hammering in Ireland at the moment, with the huge number of ineffective fish and eel ladders, and the recent spill on the Glore river, a tributary to the Moy, one of the most famous salmon rivers in the world. The chemical release (probably) from a waste water treatment plant could easily happen in Fermoy or other towns with outdated treatment systems. We talk about the cost to human livelihoods. But the real issue is that this is ecocide - the killing, through either neglect, ineptitude or corruption, of ecosystems and species other than humans, but upon whose health and wellbeing our own depend.
