High time for action
10 Oct 1970The National Waterways Conservation Association have asked Dublin Corporation to set up a special Department to deal with the increasing pollution of Dublin rivers and waterways.
A spokesman for the Association said it was “high time” that something was done about the “blatant polluting” of waterways in Dublin.
“Over the years some of our city’s rivers, including the Camac, Poddle and the Swan, have gone underground and others have been culverted (filled in). The problem is getting worse, and it is high time something was done to control the huge loss to the city,” he said.
The Association’ was heartened by the announcement at a recent meeting of Dublin Port and Docks Board which condemned t!he “disgraceful” state of rivers and waterways in their catchment area.
