Raw Sewerage Continuing To Be Discharged In Two Clare Villages

Raw sewerage continues to be discharged into the sea on a daily basis in Ballyvaughan and Kilkee.

The Evironmental Protection Agency's latest Urban Wastewater report shows four Clare communities had discrepancies in 2025.

Lahinch's Wastewater Plant failed to comply with EU treatment standards, while Kilmihil's facility was found to be putting significant pressure on surface waters as a result of inadequately treated sewerage.

EPA Programme Manager Noel Byrne says the risks are extremely high.
