04.04.11

INISHOWEN county
councillor, Jack Murray has expressed shock at the
living conditions of people in unfinished housing
estates. The Sinn Féin councillor said he had been
"inundated" with calls from constituents living in
"appalling" conditions. |
“Estates have been left
unfinished by developers in every town on this
peninsula. This has resulted in unbearable living
conditions for many families. Sewage tanks have not
been maintained in some estates and have overflowed
onto streets where children should be playing.
“The ESB has threatened to cut off electricity to
many street lights and water pumping stations in
these estates. This would result in a ‘Dark Ages’
scenario for many people in Inishowen."
Cllr Murray called for a local authority working
group to tackle the problem. |

“Along with Pádraig (MacLochlainn),
I am going to make this issue one of my top
priorities in the time ahead and I will be seeking
the establishment of an unfinished estates working
group in Inishowen to try and alleviate this
situation. Ultimately however, support from the
Government is vital.” |
