Fears Broadford Sewerage Scheme Will Be Abandoned If Not Progressed Before Election

Clare FM

It's feared a long-awaited plan for an East Clare sewerage scheme will be abandoned if it isn't progressed before the General Election. Applications for connecting the unsewered settlements of Broadford and Cooraclare to wastewater infrastructure were approved last December but much frustration has been expressed since due to a perceived lack of progress. At July's meeting of the Killaloe Municipal District, Fine Gael Councillor Joe Cooney received unanimous support for his proposal that the MD write to the Department of Housing and Uisce Éireann requesting greater urgency on the projects. The Bodyke representative says if there's a change of Government before the plans are moved forward, it's possible the projects will be scrapped.
