Anglers have been urged to stay away from a lake in Cork where fish appear to be dying from an unknown disease. Ireland South MEP Liadh Ní Riada has issued the warning in response to reports of huge numbers of carp dying in The Lough in Cork City and Belvelly Lake in Cobh. “The deaths of hundreds of fish is bad enough but the fact that whatever has caused it seems to be spreading to other lakes is deeply concerning. “The Lough is a landmark of the city and treasured by the residents so nobody wants to see it closed or access restricted. The same is true of Blevelly Lake in Cobh which is a beautiful spot, as much loved by the locals as it is by anglers.
