We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Ireland Water Pollution Reporting Portal, designed to make it quicker and easier for the public to report suspected pollution incidents and help protect our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.
Recent events, including the devastating fish kill on the Blackwater and other serious pollution incidents across the country, have highlighted just how vulnerable our waterways are—and how important timely reporting can be. Early intervention can make a real difference in preventing long-term environmental damage.
This portal brings together key reporting information in one place, helping you to:
- Identify pollution incidents
- Contact the correct authority quickly
- Follow a clear, standard reporting procedure
- Provide useful details (including photos and location) that support investigation and enforcement
We strongly encourage anyone who spends time near water—anglers, farmers, walkers, and local communities—to make use of this resource.
The resource is available on our website and can be downloaded to your phone if required.
