Crosshaven community suffers ‘Third World’ road, sewage systems

A small coastal community has the worst infrastructure in Co Cork, with its roads, water and sewerage systems being described as “Third World”, according to a local councillor.

The situation is so bad that during heavy spells of rain, sewage from septic tanks in Graball Bay area is flowing into storm water drains and down the road and out into the nearby picture-postcard village of Crosshaven.

Cllr Aidan Lombard raised the issue at a Cork County Council meeting when he said something had to be done urgently to address the issues for people living around Graball Bay.
