What’s happening on the Shannon Estuary is not an accident… it’s a system.
The Aughinish Incident is a hard-hitting investigative documentary uncovering the hidden risks, missing oversight, and decades of unanswered questions surrounding Aughinish Island.

Through Freedom of Information files, groundwater data, on-site investigation, and first-hand testimony, this film reveals a story of pollution, cover-ups, regulatory blindspots, and the growing fear of a tailings dam disaster on Ireland’s west coast.

We investigate:
– Toxic groundwater contamination travelling far beyond the BRDA
– Missing animal health samples and gaps in state investigations
– The expanding red-mud dam and its risks
– Failures by regulatory bodies tasked with safety
– Local communities fighting for accountability
– The global supply chain behind Ireland’s quietest environmental crisis
