Opponents to fight on after site chosen for super sewage plant

A site near Dublin Airport has been chosen for a sewage treatment plant, but campaigners have vowed to continue their fight against the proposed facility.

Planning permission for the wastewater treatment plant at Clonshaugh, north Dublin, and an outfall pipe 6km out to sea from Baldoyle will go to An Bord Pleanála next year.

Project managers with Dublin Greater Drainage said the site, which is 2.2km east of Dublin Airport and between the Malahide road and the M1, is ecologically and environmentally better.
