Rallying call to save Mitchelstown

A businessman’s campaign and appeal to everyone in Mitchelstown to press for urgent progress on the stalled waste treatment plant, has received support from a number of politicians. 

As first reported in The Avondhu, businessman Denis McGrath said it was ‘impossible to invest in the town as long as Irish Water stalled their work on the much needed upgrade’.

He has now written to Government ministers and senior politicians to find a way to force action on the issue and is calling on everyone in Mitchelstown to do the same in order to progress the matter.
