Subsidence causes sewage back-up in Kerry estate

Land subsidence is causing serious problems, including sewage back-up, in an unfinished housing estate in Co Kerry.

Residents from Oakwood Manor, Kenmare, told a meeting of the South and West Kerry Municipal Authority, they had been putting up with problems for up to nine years and were at their wit’s end.

A site resolution plan was submitted to Kerry County Council by the bondholder last week and is being examined by engineers.
