Half the population's sewage not properly treated before release into rivers, lakes & sea.
Sewage from 32 towns & villages not treated at all.
That's half a billion litres of dirty toilet, sink & shower water entering Irish waterways every day

can you asked the EPA or IW for a map of all the towns and villages that are discharging untreated sewage, as this map is only showing works on plants and is a red herring on the visuals.

Too many people. 5.1 million, highest since Famine era and not enough infrastructure built to keep pace with this population expansion. Immigration policy doesn't allow for, or even contemplate, a reduction in numbers. According to Helen McEntee immigration can't be controlled.

It's easy to blame Irish water but councils must also take responsibility. Billions from motor tax was given to build infrastructure. How planning officials ever allowed a sewage works to flow into a river. Why were EU standards not adhered to.

Good grief. What is going wrong. Doesn't sound like this can be stopped quickly. Wild swimming be damned...so much for the health benefits!
