'No bathing' in Liffey at Kilcullen after sewage contamination
A bathing ban has been put in place on the Liffey in Kilcullen, from the area of Riverside Manor and all the way downstream, writes Brian Byrne.
"It's unsafe to enter the water," says Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer, who says the developer is cooperating with the Council to rectify the matter. "Until that is done, it is unsafe to bathe downstream of the development."
Signs have been erected this morning by Kildare County Council at sections of the river where people habitually bathe or paddle during warm weather.
Meanwhile, a similar contamination of Pinkeen Stream was dealt with by the Council yesterday. In that instance it was sewage overflow from the Cnoc na Greine estate.
