Recent storms and salmon farms

Sir, – One can only imagine what the recent storms on the west coast would have done to the massive salmon farm planned for Galway Bay and the ecological damage caused by the escapees interbreeding with local salmon stocks. If ever a timely reminder was needed to show the folly and short-sightedness of such a scheme, this was it. – Yours, etc,
