Sorry Christopher another urban myth, the facts are as follows;
When the DMC factory closed sixty tons of presses used to stamp out the 
stainless steel panels were sold by Lapple (the pressing company in the 
Republic of Ireland) to Haulbowline scrap metal company in Cork. Emerald 
fisheries bought the "scrap" metal dies and used them as anchors for the fish 
farm's salmon rearing cages. They now rest as anchors in 100 feet of 
seawater off Carna in Connemarra.
