Recent drought could hit Fleadh

SINN Féin Councillor Kenneth Flood is concerned there won’t be enough water in Drogheda to serve the forthcoming Fleadh.

He asked the question of Louth County Council and says the reply he got has caused him concern.

“Given the recent drought conditions, I asked if our local reservoirs were full enough to meet the projected needs for 400,000 visitors,” Cllr Flood said.

“I was informed that the situation was being monitored and further restrictions would be put in place if needed. I feel there needs to be a bit more clarity around that.” A further concern is the water main at Staleen Water Treatment Plant.
