Plan to pipe more sewage into Dublin Bay facing legal challenge

Dublin City Council will have to await the outcome of a major legal challenge to its proposed €270m Ringsend scheme to pipe the waste products of about 1.8 million people into the heart of Dublin Bay.

Mr Justice Peter Charleton today dismissed an application by the local authority to strike out legal proceedings by concerned residents of Sandymount and Merrion who want to block the development.
