Concerns in Cobh ahead of sewer laying plans
Concerns have been expressed about plans to lay sewers in Cobh as part of the Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Project.
It's after plans to enforce 24 hour road closures in Passage West to facilitate the same project were scrapped.
Traders in Passage West hit out at the plans which would have seen two streches of road on the town's main street closed.
They claimed the works would be detrimental to business and the town.
Irish Water has warned that certain closures will be unavoidable in the area in order to complete work to clean up the harbour, which has the equivalent of 20,000 wheelie bins of waste pumped into it everyday.
However it's understood talks are ongoing with Irish Water and local representatives in Cobh in a bid to avoid a repeat of the problems experienced in Passage West.
