The Environmental Protection Agency says the raw sewage discharged onto Bray’s North Beach was due to a power and communication failure at the Corke Abbey wastewater pumping station.
They also stated that the discharge took place from December 26th to 30th.
The incident, which went unnoticed by Uisce Eireann for five days, and was only identified and stopped following Brady’s complaint to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
While Brady welcomed the EPA’s instruction to Uisce Éireann to investigate, he criticised the fact that such an investigation was initiated only after his intervention.
He called for Uisce Éireann to proactively investigate and publish findings for all environmental
incidents involving wastewater infrastructure.
