In the mid 1990’s the Club, with the help of Lough Corrib Angling Federation, financed the study and publication of the book: “Lough Corrib - A Cause of Concern” by Dr. Rodrick O’Sullivan BDS M.Sc. This study involved taking water samples at over 30 different sites on the lough and was one of the biggest of its kind ever undertaken in Ireland.
