爱尔兰一半以上的污水处理厂经常倾倒未经处理的废物,尽管取得了一些进展,但仍损害健康和环境。 Over half of Ireland’s sewage plants regularly dump untreated waste, harming health and environment despite some progress.

据环保局称,爱尔兰一半以上的废水处理厂经常排放未经处理或处理不当的污水,在Ramelton、Rathmullan、Falcarragh和Moville等Donegal城镇中,问题还在持续。 Over half of Ireland’s wastewater treatment plants regularly release untreated or poorly treated sewage, according to the EPA, with ongoing issues in Donegal towns like Ramelton, Rathmullan, Falcarragh, and Moville. 尽管自去年以来原污水排出量下降了50%,但由于基础设施老化、操作失败和升级延迟,日常污染仍在继续。 Despite a 50% drop in raw sewage discharges since last year, daily pollution continues due to aging infrastructure, operational failures, and delayed upgrades. 在78个面临法律和规划障碍的优先地点中,Uisce Éireann只开始了一半的工作,而EPA则警告目前存在环境和公共卫生风险。 Uisce Éireann has started work on only half of 78 priority sites, facing legal and planning hurdles, while the EPA warns of ongoing environmental and public health risks.
