Anglers object to plans for nearly 250 Killarney homes

Association says large-scale applications should be considered 'premature' until Kerry County Council and Uisce Éireann carry out upgrades to the storm and foul sewer systems

New St, Killarney. It has been claimed the application would result in a 'significant increase in the annual daily load into the Killarney Town Sewage Treatment system and network'.

Anglers have lodged an appeal against a major housing development in Killarney because of the deteriorating water quality in the town's lakes and rivers blamed on its sewage network and treatment plant.

Large-scale applications should be considered "premature" until Kerry County Council and Uisce Éireann carry out upgrades to the storm and foul sewer systems in Killarney's Sewer network, the Laune Salon and Trout Anglers’ Association say.
