Newly approved plans for a wastewater treatment plan in West Clare are expected to be challenged in the High Court. It comes as Uisce Éireann has been given the green light to build a new sewerage plant, along with foul pumping station on a site just 620m away from Kilkee Cliff Walk. An Bord Pleanála granted permission for the project last week, following a successful appeal from Uisce Eireann which maintains the plant is essential to end the discharge of raw sewerage into Intrinsic Bay. Cathaoirleach of the West Clare Municipal District Rita McInerney has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan it's likely to spark a judicial review.

It's feared Ennis will be "hamstrung" unless urgent action is taken to increase wastewater capacity. Ennis Municipal District has confirmed no new planning permissions can be given in the south of Ennis or in Clarecastle at present as the Clareabbey Wastewater Treatment Plant is at full capacity. The body has now written to Uisce Éireann requesting details on plans to expand or improve the current network. Clarecastle Fine Gael Councillor Paul Murphy has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons swift action is required to prevent the county town and its environs from being brought to a standstill.

Uisce Éireann is investigating after a fatberg was found in the River Finnihy in Kenmare. Jerry spoke to Elaine Doyle, who’s Clean Coasts’ campaign and development officer for the south.

A south Clare village is said to be forced into shutdown on a regular basis due to outdated water infrastructure. On foot of a notice of motion from Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman, Shannon Municipal District has written to Uisce Éireann requesting an upgrade of the water main that delivers water to the village. It's understood the pipe is no longer fit for purpose and that the area has experienced water outages three times in May alone. Councillor O'Gorman says businesses in the locality frequently find themselves unable to operate due to supply disruptions.

Uisce (pronounced "ish-ka," the Irish word for "water") is the sole full-length album by Australian band Non-Intentional Lifeform (N.I.L.), released in 1997 by Roadrunner Records. Formed in Perth in 1995, N.I.L. was known for their eclectic fusion of hard rock, thrash metal, post-punk, rap, and funk. Energetic and unpredictable, the album is an inventive blend of genres anchored by stellar musical performances that sound like a bridge between rap-rock pioneers Rage Against The Machine and Faith No More, and late 90s alternative and nu-metal of System of a Down and Incubus.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Living or Existing 21:36 - Farm Animals 23:37 - Sister Julienne 33.22 - Spilling All Over The Floor Outro - Living or Existing   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Uisce Éireann insists it's not resting on its laurels when it comes to preventing water shortages in Clare. The water utility is urging homes and businesses in this county to be mindful of its usage as the Carron Water Treatment Plant is one of 22 supplies nationwide deemed to be in drought status. A number of methods of conservation are being encouraged such as using a watering can instead of a hose for gardening, not letting the tap run and taking a bath instead of a shower. Uisce Éireann's Asset Operations Lead for Drinking Water in Clare, Darragh Conneely, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons they're looking into futureproofing water infrastructure here against hot spells such as the one currently being experienced.

Over 20 water supplies around the country are officially in drought status due to the recent spell of warm and dry weather. Uisce Eireann is asking people to reduce their water usage as the good weather is expected to continue into next week. Margaret Attridge, Uisce Eireann's Head of Water Operations, speaks to us from our Cork studio.

A Clare TD says there's a lack of willingness at Government level to adopt innovative solutions to facilitate the delivery of housing developments in the county. Speaking in the Dáil, Bodyke Fine Gael TD, Joe Cooney, claims the inability of Uisce Éireann to deliver wastewater treatment infrastructure is resulting in the blocking of developments. The use of modular wastewater treatment systems been identified as a means of speedily providing small scale developments to aid the State in reaching its housing targets. Deputy Cooney says there are obvious solutions, but they just need the go ahead.

Angela Ryan, Assets Strategy Manager for Uisce Éireann, discusses the lack of water and sewage capacity for new homes in Ballyboggan.

The incoming President of Ennis Chamber has described the lack of functioning wastewater treatment plants in the town as "preposterous". According to Uisce Éireann's register, there is no available capacity at the Clareabbey sewerage plant, although an upgrade is planned. It's unlikely that any proposed developments near the plant can happen until the works are complete, and the local authority is now being urged to rezone lands for residential use near the Clon Road facility instead. Diarmuid McMahon of Sherry Fitzgerald McMahon Real Estate Agents says development has effectively been sterilised for half the town.

Philip Cotter from Abbeyfeale spoke to Jerry on Kerry Today on March 20th.. He said Uisce Éireann charged his business, a restaurant in Abbeyfeale, €8,580.92 for water in February, even though his typical bill totals less than €100 annually.

According to Uisce Éireann Chairman Gerry Grant, our water and sewage systems are "in a desperate state". Mr Grant said the single water pipe serving 40% of Dublin customers "could blow up in the morning". For analysis, we're joined by Dr. Jenny Lawler, from the DCU Water Institute...

Philip Cotter is the owner of O’Flynn’s Restaurant in Abbeyfeale, which has been in the family for over 100 years. Last month, he says Uisce Éireann withdrew €8,580.92 from his account for water charges. Philp says the utility made a mistake as he normally would pay only around €100 annually. He says he’s contacted Uisce Éireann several times but no one has addressed his problem. Radio Kerry has contacted Uisce Éireann.

Clare's opposition TD says greater focus needs to be placed on improving water infrastructure, rather than introducing what she calls "double taxation" in the form of water charges. Following reports that the Government was working on plans for "excessive water use charges", both the Taoiseach and Housing Minister have claimed the introduction of such charges is a Government priority. Sinn Féin Deputy Donna McGettigan claims leakage from old homes is the greatest cause of water loss in the country and Uisce Éireann should instead enhance their leakage reduction programme. The Shannon TD says punishing people living in older homes is not the solution to water conservation.

Ennistymon residents are being told to expect a more "secure and reliable" water supply once upcoming works are completed. Uisce Éireann has confirmed it will be upgrading 550 metres of watermains along the L-1050 at Sroohil in the North Clare town. Works get underway today and are due to conclude on April 4th, with a road closure in effect for the duration and a traffic management system in place. Uisce Éireann Programme Manager Jack Cronin it's a huge win for locals.

A water infrastructure revamp commencing in North Clare today is being welcomed locally as a step in the right direction. Uisce Éireann is working to upgrade 550 metres of watermains at Sroohil in Ennistymon in the latest in a series of improvement works on the line. The L-1050 will be closed until April 4th in order to facilitate the works and the water utility claims customers will enjoy a more "secure and reliable" water supply once the upgrade is complete. Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons there are many parts of North Clare where similar upgrades are sorely needed.

Mark Beer, Co-Founder of Lismore Water Action Group, outlines how frequent water outages are affecting locals in the Co Waterford town.

Yesterday’s Tralee MD meeting heard calls from Sinn Féin councillor Deirdre Ferris for Uisce Éireann to back up power supply to water pump stations to avoid water outages when power goes.

As you've been hearing in our news bulletins, the ESB estimates the number of premises in Clare which remain without power this morning to be 3,900 as crews continue their efforts to restore electricity to all those affected by Storm Éowyn. Uisce Éireann meanwhile says 2,500 homes and businesses here are still experiencing water supply disruptions as the utility works to reconnect customers. Hundreds in the north Clare village of Tubber are still heavily impacted by last week's extreme weather event and it's understood that it'll be another few days before power and water return for some.

Uisce Éireann will press ahead with a long proposed 170km pipeline from the lower River Shannon through the midlands all the way to the capital. But not all those living along the route of the Shannon Pipeline or near the site of the proposed water extraction are convinced. John Cooke reports.

Plans to pipe water from the River Shannon to a reservoir in Dublin have gone out for public consultation. Uisce Éireann says it's a "once in a generation" project, which would connect the Parteen Basin with a treatment plant in Birdhill in Tipperary and Peamount in Dublin. It's due to become a "spine" to serve communities along the route, with the potential for more infrastructure to connect it further out. Uisce Éireann will host a series of information open days at key locations as part of the consultation, which is also available online. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Pat Murphy, Senior Programme Manager with Uisce Éireann. Alan was also joined by Killaloe Councillor Tony O'Brien and Kay McGuinness, from the River Shannon Protection Alliance. Image (c) Uisce Éireann

This morning, the village and wider area remained without power and water. Treasa received an update from Uisce Éireann as to when it hoped to restore water. Jerry also spoke to Lisa Cox, who lives in Brosna; she feels they are living in a forgotten village. After this interview, ESB Networks contacted the show to say that some homes in the area may not have power restored until Friday. Up to 40 fallen trees in Brosna, particularly in Mount Eagle, have caused the outage and have contributed to the length of time it's taking to restore electricity.

Jerry spoke to Charlie O’Leary, water operations lead with Uisce Éireann. Parts of Kerry are without water as a result of the cold snap with Brosna the area worst affected. To report a water break, call 1800 278 278.
