LIMERICK councillors have unanimously passed a motion calling on Irish Water to come up with a five-year sewage treatment plan for the county.
And members have also once again reiterated their opposition to the proposed county development plan which would among other things see an effective ban on the construction of one-off housing.
Fine Gael councillor for Abbeyfeale Liam Galvin, who proposed the motion at a special meeting, said: “If we adopt this county development plan with the plan the government has rolled out, the only people who will do well out of this are at the passport office. Because the people of rural Limerick will have nowhere to live. That’s not me being dramatic, that’s the reality of it.”
