Hearing to discuss plan to use river for town’s water supply
Development and planning applications in the town have virtually ground to a halt due to an inadequate public water supply, but there is local opposition to the council’s plan for the Sheen, which would supplement the current Lough Eirk source.
People in the rural area of Bonane in the Sheen catchment, Kenmare Chamber of Commerce and anglers are strongly objecting to the plan and suggest instead that the council investigate mountain lakes as sources.
