Mogeely Dairygold Seek Licence to Dump 290 Million Gallons of Wastewater into Cork Harbour Annually
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
East Ferry has become
the focal point of a heat- ed debate about how far a community should go to accommodate
economic
development. Lower Harbour residents
fear their communities will die if Dairygold is given the go ahead to flush 290 mil- lion gallons of wastewater into the harbour annually. Last week the Dairygold lodged
Co-Operative planning
application with
Cork County Council to increase its capacity to pro- duce cheese at
their Mo-
geely site. Part

construct a 14 kilometre pipe running from Mogeely through to Ratcoursey West (known locally as the head of the ferry), where it will connect to an out fall pipe. If the planning authori-
