The DUP is calling for those responsible for the fish kill in the Six Mile Water river to be exposed.

DUP MLA Trevor Clarke said: "The Sixmilewater has suffered badly in the past from such pollution incidents and this latest fish kill is a huge blow, particularly to anglers in the area.

"The full scale of the problem isn't yet known, but the source must be identified and whoever is responsible face an appropriate penalty. Such environmental crimes have a very damaging immediate impact, but their effects can be felt for many years on a river such as this."
