Mulhuddart sewage smell - what can be done?

Email if you want to share your concerns is lunchtimelive at newstalk.com. Yeah, Ishgaran have come back to us today to tell us that we understand the impact these odours have had on the local community and our operational team reports the conditions have improved following the recent change in weather conditions.

And with the improvements already made and further works planned, we have confidence that odour issues will be significantly improved in 2027.

In response to the odour complaints in the Mulhuddard area we undertook significant works upstream to improve flows from Kilbrithe and County Mead.

These have been diverted from Church Road heading east and the former foul rising main through Mulhuddard is now decommissioned.

The decommissioned main will be sealed and the associated manhole chambers filled with concrete, helping to eliminate potential sources of odour from the old infrastructure.

These works are expected to be completed in the coming weeks.

We're also planning a review of the wider Ringsend wastewater system.

including how it's ventilated, pressure within the network and the amount of treatment used to control odours.

Mulhuddart will also form part of this review.

So for anybody living in the locality, residents who are faced with that smell issue on a regular basis, you'll be delighted to know that Ishka Aaron says they have confidence that the odour problems will be significantly improved next year.
