'Foul odours will increase' if Clonakility plant allowed to import liquid sludge
Irish Water has sought approval to operate the plant located on the Inchydoney Road in Clonakilty, which would involve the importation of liquid sludge from around 30 other wastewater treatment facilities in west Cork.
Irish Water is seeking to press ahead with its plans for a major upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant in Clonakilty, despite Cork County Council claiming the proposed works are likely to result in environmental pollution through an increase in foul odours.
The company has appealed the council’s recent decision to refuse planning permission for the project to An Bord Pleanála.
