Human and dog excrement is being repeatedly found in popular bathing areas in Cobh and local councillors have again demanded that the county council test the water quality there.

Labour councillor Cathal Rasmussen accused ‘rogue’ motorhome and campervan users of dumping toilet waste into the harbour at Cuskinny, which has become an extremely popular swimming spot since covid.
