No plan for wastewater upgrade at scenic Cork beach until at least 2025 

Rosscarbery & Warren Strand beach.

There are currently no plans to upgrade wastewater treatment infrastructure at a west Cork beach that was forced to close for swimming for more than a week due to a sewage plume in the water in August.

The Warren Strand near Rosscarbery is among the most popular beaches in west Cork but, according to locals, the nearby Rosscarbery/Owenahincha wastewater treatment plant is outdated and no longer fit for purpose.
