'Christmas Has Come Early For Broadford And Cooraclare'

It's claimed the approval of sewerage schemes for both Cooraclare and Broadford will finally allow communities in those villages to grow and prosper. Both villages were today among the thirteen nationwide to be included in a €50m government pilot scheme aiming to connect unsewered rural settlements to wastewater infrastructure. Each local authority was only allowed to nominate two projects when the programme was announced last year, while another 50 settlements in this county still remain without sewerage systems. Meelick Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe says though Christmas has come early for Broadford and Cooraclare, its vital that the scheme is expanded.
