Limerick City and County Council says efforts are continuing to identify the source of oil pollution on the Abbey River.
A boom and highly absorbent oleophilic pads have contained the worst of the oil pollution on the Abbey River at its confluence with the Park Canal.
Officials from Limerick City and County Council along with Inland Fisheries Ireland have been monitoring the situation since being alerted on Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesperson for the local authority confirmed the oil appears to be entering the Abbey River from a storm water outlet on Lock Quay which is is fed from ‘The Loggers’ storm water pumping station along the Park Canal.
