AN INVESTIGATION BY Carlow County Council following complaints from local residents found that a manufacturing plant was above the local authority’s threshold for solvent use.
One resident, Tee O’Hara, told The Journal that she first complained to the council about the smell in April of this year. There are regulations governing solvent emissions from 20 specified activities. The activities of small businesses are under the control of the local authorities while larger businesses require EPA licensing.Activities using more than 10 tonnes per annum of solvents require an Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control licence from the EPA.
Independent councillor John Cassin has made a number of representations to the council about the odour on behalf of local residents.Cassin said the company had responded to complaints about noise in the past and had worked to reduce noise levels.
