488. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his Department has received the report of the Environmental Protection Agency audit, dated 16 October 2013, on the Shannon town wastewater treatment plant of Clare County Council, which found that the Shannon town wastewater treatment plant was generating significant hydrogen sulfide odours, it was designed and built without preliminary treatment facilities, it is operating in a septic condition probably due to the inadequacy of the mixing/aeration equipment currently installed, it is currently achieving very little in terms of wastewater treatment, and that urgent priority measures need to be taken ahead of the longer term planned upgrade of the plant; the way in which he will respond to the urgent need identified; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
