Gormley gives the go-ahead for sewerage scheme to tackle algae

MINISTER for the Environment John Gormley has given the go-ahead to progress a multi-million euro sewerage scheme which could significantly reduce algae growth in the bays of west Cork.

The minister has approved Cork County Council’s preliminary report on upgrading of the sewerage infrastructure in the estuary villages of Courtmacsherry and Timoleague

More crucially, Mr Gormley said the scheme has been included for funding under his department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012.
