Killarney residents criticise delays in sewerage scheme

The need for a long-awaited sewerage scheme to help protect the lakes of Killarney from pollution has been highlighted.

Changes in plans for a scheme to service a densely populated area north and east of the town have led to anger and frustration among residents who say they have been waiting almost 20 years for work to commence.

“There have been so many different proposals over the years that we don’t know whether we’re coming, or going,’’ said Matthew O’Connor, a campaigner for a scheme in the Kilcummin area.
