HC Deb 10 July 1978 vol 953 c454W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the Foyle Fisheries Commission, the River Faughan Anglers Association or any other person or body has as yet lodged a claim for damages in respect of damage to angling in the River Faughan due to the death of fish as a result of a recent fire at Drumahoe for which the Provisional IRA is believed to be responsible.

Mr. Dunn

I am informed that the solicitor of the Honourable The Irish Society has lodged a claim.

Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps he is taking to restock the River Faughan after the recent fire at Drumahoe during which chemicals escaped to the river and killed many thousands of salmon smelts and other fish.

Mr. Dunn

This is a matter for the owners and lessees of the fishing stocks of the river Faughan.
