A LOCAL councillor is calling for something to be done about the smell coming from certain parts of the Big River.

At Monday’s meeting of the Tralee Municipal District of Kerry County Council, Sinn Féin Cllr Paul Daly asked that the Council would make every effort to stop sewage going into the Big River.

Cllr Daly said the smell from the Big River at times is “horrendous”. He said the problem has been ongoing for years for people living in houses and estates near the river.

In reply, Council management said the management and maintenance of the public sewer network is a matter for Uisce Éireann.

Labour Cllr Terry O’Brien seconded Cllr Daly’s motion and proposed that the Council write to Uisce Éireann about this particular issue.
