Concerns Raised Over Upcoming Uisce Éireann Site Works At Liscannor Bay

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.
