There's a large amount of sewerage visible in a Mid-Kerry river which is causing a serious health hazard to both humans and fish.

That’s according to Fianna Fail councillor Michael Cahill who says the pollution occurred on the River Laune near Killorglin.

Councillor Cahill is asking people to stay out of the water until the source of the leakage is identified and rectified by Kerry County Council.
