'Council have continued to liaise with the families concerned.'
The council has lifted warnings to dog walkers and a ban on water sports around Antrim's Loughshore area after investigations into the deaths of three family pets concluded without a cause being established.
Worried families, dog lovers and animal charities issued urgent warnings in May to the public about the issue, and Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough followed suit a week after the dogs died, warning water users and pet owners to stay out of Lough Neagh. In June the council issued a fresh warning as mystery continued over the cause of the sudden deaths.
A spokesperson said for Antrim and Newtownabbey Council said: "Along with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, we have concluded our respective investigations regarding circumstances surrounding the deaths of three dogs over a period of time in the Antrim Loughshore and immediate areas. "In May 2022, Council also undertook biological water sampling with the bathing water quality being described as ‘excellent’ against the relevant standard. At that time Council also made arrangements for the post mortem of one dog by University College Dublin’s Veterinary Hospital.
