Sewage flowing into river crippling Limerick's 'forgotten village'
Maurice Walsh, chairman of Kilbehenny Sewerage Action Group says explains how raw sewage from over a dozen houses, pubs, hairdressers and a church flows through the centre of the village, before ending up in the river.
Raw sewage flowing into the River Funshion at Kilbehenny village in Co. Limerick is having a “crippling effect” on the surrounding area, according to locals.
They say the problem is causing a serious health risk to residents, with regular reports of rats spotted near the unmanaged sewerage network. One resident with two young children recently reported finding a rat in the u-bend of their toilet, after it climbed through the entire network.
