The EPA says it’s continuing to bring proceedings against Irish Water for failing to make the necessary improvements to waste treatment plants.

A new report shows that raw sewage is being released at 44 locations around the country.

Around 50 plants need improvement works but many won’t be completed until 2021.

Three wastewater treatment plants Tipperary have been cited as facilities that do not meet EU standards of wastewater treatment.

The European Union’s Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive sets standards for the collection, treatment and discharge of urban waste water from large urban areas. There are 185 large urban areas in Ireland and 135 of these complied with the legally binding standards in 2016.

Mullinahone, Roscrea, and Thurles are regarded as areas where improvements are required to resolve environmental priorities.

Darragh Page from the EPA says it’s not good enough:
