Raw sewage gushes into Dublin's River Dodder and leaves 'disgusting' smell

A Dublin man was "furious" to find gallons of raw sewage gushing into the River Dodder following major development at Mount Carmel park.

Eoin Carroll from Carroll Contractors captured video footage of the incident in Dodder Valley Park during Monday night’s thunderstorm. The park recently reopened to the public following major works to install a nature trail, BMX pump track, new soccer pitch, grass running tracks and pathway extensions.

Eoin said: “The smell was absolutely disgusting." He told us the incident happened between 7.30 and 8pm on Monday evening when “we had thunder and lightning and a horrendous downpour of rain”.
