A recent discharge from the Ringsend wastewater treatment plant into Dublin Bay
A sewage leak into Dublin Bay has been blamed on increased construction work pushing rubble into the system.
An analysis by Irish Water of material arriving at the wastewater treatment plant in Ringsend after the incident two weeks ago found that it was not normal sewage.
The material contained substances that were “possibly entering the sewer network as a result of the increase in construction activity across the city”, the company said.
