Crews are on the ground carrying out an essential review of the current treatment processes to resolve any potential odour issues as quickly as possible. 

Speaking about the works, Uisce Éireann's Regional Operations Lead, Peter Gallagher said: 

 "Uisce Éireann, working closely with Cavan County Council is committed to resolving any potential odour issues at the plant due to increased loads from the sewer network.
