Decision regarding prosecution of ESB over major kill of critically endangered species still outstanding some seven months on A decision on whether to prosecute the ESB over a major kill of critically endangered juvenile European eels (or elvers) at their hydroelectric installation on the River Erne in County Donegal is still being considered – seven months after the incident! The elver kill happened in April 2014 and more than 300,000 juvenile eels died when traps at the bottom of the dam at Cathleen’s Falls in what was perhaps the largest documented fish kill to ever occur in Ireland. However Inland Fisheries Ireland have yet to make a decision on a course of action. europeaneel/2014/12/27/esb-elver-kill/
