A Limerick community which has been fighting for a wastewater treatment system for its village is hoping it will be included in a government announcement being made next week.

A meeting will take place in Kilbehenny, on the Limerick/Cork/Tipperary border, on Friday night to highlight the concerns of local residents about the lack of a wastewater facility in the village. It comes ahead of an expected announcement next week regarding funding for wastewater treatment facilities across the country.
