Galway Bay fm newsroom – There are calls for Galway City Council to respond to an An Taisce study which reported that large quantities of raw sewage are entering the River Corrib and Galway Bay.
The study compiled in Autumn 2020 claims that the equivalent of 35 swimming pools of wastewater are entering the bodies of water in the city each month.
The investigation further claimed the council did not adequately report frequent discharges of wastewater containing untreated sewage as individual incidents to the EPA.
City Councillor John Connolly says the report raises serious questions.
In a statement to Galway Bay fm, Galway city council says a full response will be issued in the coming days following the report.
A demand has been made for the Galway City Council to initiate a Compulsory Purchase Order on the controversial and derelict Corrib Great Southern site.
