Concerns Raised Over Upcoming Uisce Éireann Site Works At Liscannor Bay

Clare FM

Show Notes

An environmental group is raising concerns that Lahinch's waterways could be impacted if the due diligence process for a new wastewater treatment plant isn't followed. Uisce Éireann is due to carry out Marine and Intertidal site investigation surveys in Liscannor Bay, ahead of its construction of a new sewerage plant serving Ennistymon and Lahinch. Friends of the Irish Environment has requested the Marine Area Regulatory Authority to impose a marine mammal observer, along with sonar, noise and machinery weight restrictions for the duration of the works. Director Tony Lowes says it's critical the waters remain intact.
