Monitoring raises fears of pollution risks at Killarney lake

The outflow from a main stream channelling treated waste water into one of Killarney’s famed lakes has been found to be “of less than good quality”.

Monitoring undertaken by Kerry County Council and the Environmental Protection Agency determined The Folly Stream to be ‘mildly eutrophic or mildly enriched’.

The monitoring has raised concerns about pollution risks to Lough Lein, the largest of the Killarney lakes.
