Raw sewage scandal — so many dangers with dumping untreated waste into our waterways
Donal Hickey: "The number of towns and villages discharging raw sewage daily has reduced from 29 to 16 since the start of 2023. And now is the time for work on the remainder when Government coffers are flush and urgent action is so obviously needed."
Serious action is expected from the new Government to end the ongoing, scandalous discharge of raw sewage into our waterways.
Based on Uisce Eireann (UE) estimates, it will take more than two decades and huge investment to bring poorly-operating treatment plants up to standard: time to get a move on, surely.
