ESB given week to respond as ash residue blown on to homes

RESIDENTS who live near an ESB power station had their houses and cars covered in an ash residue.

The ESB, it emerged, has been given one week to draft a schedule of measures aimed at rectifying problems with ash storage arrangements at its power station at Moneypoint in Clare.

It follows a recent incident when residents observed a dust cloud being carried on the wind as far as Killimer church, several miles away.
