Irish Water's proposal seeks to siphon off over 330 million liters of water daily from the River Shannon, funneling it through a 172 km pipeline destined for Dublin. This exorbitant project comes with a staggering current cost estimate exceeding €1.65 billion.


The prospect of erecting a 2-meter diameter pipeline, slicing through over 500 farms, will have serious consequences on the socio-economic development of the region. The water abstraction will harm Lough Derg and the River Shannon environment, affecting wildlife and water quality.

Our priority is safeguarding the River Shannon, and Uisce Eireann's proposal to extract water from it poses significant threats to our environment, economy, and communities. 
We propose a more sustainable solution.

By utilizing existing reservoirs like Poulaphuca at Blessington, the demand can be met without compromising the integrity of our natural waterways.


We are calling on the government to reallocate the budget to a pipe replacement program in Dublin: a more sustainable solution. We call for an independent review of the project to ensure that all alternatives are thoroughly evaluated.
