Raw sewage flowing into sea at Crosshaven ‘unacceptable’  

“To hear somebody flush their toilet and then see it flow down into the sea is not good enough”

There is a major need for an extension of the Cork lower harbour mains sewerage network to include houses in part of the picturesque Crosshaven area where sewage is still discharged directly into the sea.

A meeting of the Carrigaline Municipal District Council, which administers Crosshaven, heard it’s totally unacceptable that this is continuing to happen, especially as it is the area is a magnet for tourists.
