Replacement work on a broken sewage pipe in Liscannor has been described as "a band aid solution' by a member of the local Harbour Committee.

Last August, residents of the village expressed concern about effluent flowing from the pipe, creating a 'geyser' of raw sewage.
Irish Water has now replaced the pipe, at a cost of €68,000.
The utility says that Liscannor is one of the areas being assessed for provision of a wastewater treatment plant, but works are unlikely to begin before early 2017.
Ailish Blake of Liscannor Harbour Committee says the community won't be satisfied until there's a permanent solution in place.
