‘An important intervention’: Senior Kinahan figure Sean McGovern arrested in Dubai over Hutch feud murderThe EPA acknowledges a 45 per cent reduction in towns and villages discharging raw sewage since the start of 2023, but found “discharges from over half of treatment plants did not always meet licence standards set to prevent pollution”.
EPA director Dr Tom Ryan said: “Investment has resulted in stopping raw sewage discharges during the past year from 13 towns and villages that were priority areas highlighted by the EPA. This demonstrates that such investment protects our environment and benefits our local communities.
Short-term breaches should be resolved through effective management and maintenance of equipment, he said, while “Uisce Éireann must address infrastructural deficits at priority areas highlighted by the EPA during its 2025 to 2029 investment cycle. This will help deliver significant environmental benefits and protect water quality.”
