Kilkee waste water treatment plan encounters strong local opposition 

Proposed plant branded 'a monstrosity' which would 'have a negative impact on such a scenic area'

One objection said the proposed waste water treatment plant would 'have a negative effect on Kilkee’s popular Cliff Walk’.

Plans by Uisce Éireann for a new waste water treatment plant for the West Clare seaside resort of Kilkee are facing strong local opposition, with one objector branding the proposal "a monstrosity".

Last month, the utility lodged plans for a new plant aimed at eliminating “in so far as possible” the discharge of untreated waste water into Intrinsic Bay at Kilkee.
