English comedian Stephen Fry has lent his support to a Donegal campaign against an Oyster Farm in Loughros Mór bay near Ardara after he accidentally received an email intended for someone else.
The 61-year-old proceeded to share the campaign on his 12.7M strong Twitter account – with people as far as Belgium and Germany signing it since.
By a strange quirk I accidentally received an email intended for someone else. It made me aware, though, of the people of Loughros Mór in glorious County Donegal and their fight against a 200 acre oyster farm in their famous, beautiful bay. Petition here https://t.co/5niw82ISpS

The campaign had been set up following concerns about a proposed Oyster Farm development in the Carn area.
