Locals complain of foul smells in picturesque village

PEOPLE in the picturesque village of Sneem, where Taoiseach Bertie Ahern holidays, are kicking up a stink over a foul smell believed to be coming from the local sewage system.

Artist Rosemary Bradshaw, who lives in Sneem, yesterday claimed the odour near the eastern edge of the village was atrocious. Tourists as well as locals were complaining, she said.

Sneem, which won the national tidy town’s competition more than 20 years ago, is a popular stopping point for people travelling around the Ring of Kerry.
