Davy has told the hurling squad that they're not allowed to change their underwear until they win the all-Ireland.

If it Shannon counts as East Clare, I can conform the smell is horrible. Very eggy the last couple of evenings.

Rotten eggs is exactly what it smelt like around Bunratty/Shannon last week. Sulphuric.

This smell has been coming and going for years. Some people blame a chemical plant in the industrial estate.

It's Chemifloc, for clarity.

That's the one that's blamed, but didn't the EPA test it and found no issue?

Happened to be driving around the Shannon town towards Limerick area today, late morning, and noticed a very unpleasant smell. To me, it was like a bad drains/sewage type 'pong'. If that's of any help!

Doesn't read like there is much cooperation between CCC & EPA .... and the EPA 'assuring' people without knowing the cause is a bit hard to take.

They might be right ...... then again ......

Clare County Council has refuted the EPA's suggestion that a persistant smell in Shannon is caused by sewerage.

EPA Enforcement Officer Peter Cunningham said preliminary investigations have found that the smell is coming through sewerage infrastructure in the town.

So if it is not caused by sewage, but is coming through the sewage pipes etc, what could be the cause?

How do they know it is not harmful? A guess? An assumption?

This is being dragged out too long for comfort ..... they both need to get their respective fingers out .....

Should we all have a synchronised flush of the toilets?

I work in Shannon and it smells like Sewerage and nothing else.

Smelled it one day going through the toll bridge coming home from Limerick. Smell reminded me of cabbage. As Tommy Tiernan says 'Cabbage smells like death!'.

Bad smell in East Clare.
