Tide turns for clean water in miracle bay

GREAT news for Courtmacsherry Bay.

The waste water from the villages that grace its gorgeous shores will, in the near future, be of “bathing quality” following the installation of a tertiary-level waste water treatment plant.

In fact, with the many millions of gallons of salt water that pour into the bay, and the massive volume of fresh water that flows into it from the River Argideen, it is perfectly salubrious for bathing anyway — witness the annual regatta, famous in west Cork, where swimming races are held.
