Dublin Metropolitan District Court has fined Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) €1,000 for issues at Mullinahone Wastewater Treatment Plant.

2. Failing to comply with condition 3.2 on January 21, 2020, in that one or more specified discharges from the waste water works exceeded the emission limit value for Ammonia as set out in Schedule A: Discharges and Discharge Monitoring of the said licence.
