Clonakilty traders outraged over rotten smell

Business owners in Clonakilty are calling for immediate action to solve a rotten egg type smell that's affecting the town. An employee from the county council's environment department has been appointed to find the source of the odour. Work is also due to commence on a replacement sewage treatment plant.
