Plan to extend Whitegate water facility upheld by An Bord Pleanála

Uisce Éireann say the Whitegate water-treatment plant extension will end boil-water notices.

A plan by Uisce Éireann to  improve drinking water in east Cork by extending a water-treatment plant has been approved by An Bord Pleanála, despite objections from some local residents.

The board has upheld the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission to extend the Whitegate regional water-treatment plant.
