Project aimed at tackling sewage discharge into Cork harbour takes major step forward

A project aimed at ending the decades-long practice of discharging raw sewage into Cork Lower Harbour has taken a major step forward.

Irish Water this week announced that it has completed the connection of Ringaskiddy, Passage West and Monkstown to the Shanbally Wastewater Treatment Plant, meaning raw sewage from these areas will no longer discharge directly into the harbour.
