Cork special school to open on time after emergency wastewater solution installed

Last week, the EPA deemed the local sewage treatment plant to be 'biologically and hydraulically overloaded'

North Cork Community Special School in Carrignavar is due to open on August 27.

A purpose-built wastewater treatment system is being installed to ensure a new special school in Cork can open on schedule next week.

The Department of Education confirmed the measure is being put in place after Uisce Éireann declined to connect the school to the overloaded local sewerage system.
