Judge reserves decision on sewage pipe plans through lands owned by Duke of Devonshire in Cork

Irish Water will have to wait on a judge's decision over whether it can proceed with plans to lay a sewage pipe through lands owned by the Duke of Devonshire and which would discharge treated waste water into Youghal Bay, writes Noel Baker of the Irish Examiner.

The case of Irish Water and Woodstown Shellfish Ltd ran for 14 days in the circuit court in Clonakilty, Co. Cork, before concluding today.
