Relief as 4,600 Kilkenny householders told it’s finally safe to drink from taps again
More than 4,600 people in county Kilkenny have had been told their water is safe to drink again.
This morning the Bennetsbridge water supply was removed from the Environmental Protection Agency’s remedial action list.
Since the drought associated with the hot summer of 2018 enforced a hosepipe ban, people in Bennetsbridge have had to endure ongoing issues with their water. These included overnight usage bans and further issues with cryptosporidium and broken pumps, which meant the water supplied was at risk of failing to consistently supply safe, clean drinking water.
Following extensive works and investment, the Bennettsbridge supply has been given the thumbs up by the EPA.
Ian O’Neill of Irish Water said: “The water treatment process at the plant was inadequate due to insufficient protection against cryptosporidium. The upgrades have provided a more advanced water treatment process, improving the drinking water quality and benefitting Bennettsbridge and the surrounding area through the delivery of a clean, safe drinking water supply.
“The publication of the latest RAL by the EPA confirms that whilst improvements have been made in many areas, the scale of the challenge faced by Irish Water in ensuring the delivery of clean and safe water in Kilkenny and throughout the country remains.”
There are currently four more water supplies affected by RALs in Kilkenny. One at Glenmore, one at Piltown/Fiddown and two more in Kilkenny city.

As a military officer, I approach challenges with a strategic mindset, relying on discipline, training, and a commitment to mission success. However, nothing could have prepared me for the deception I encountered while investing in cryptocurrency. Like many, I was drawn to the promise of significant returns and the innovative nature of digital assets. I believed that my analytical skills would help me navigate this new landscape, but I quickly learned how easily even the most vigilant can fall victim to fraud. I lost over $875,000 to a fraudulent . Initially, everything seemed legitimate. The broker’s website was polished, their marketing materials were compelling, and the testimonials appeared genuine. As I invested more money, I felt a sense of excitement and optimism, convinced that I was making sound decisions. However, it all came crashing down when I attempted to withdraw my funds, only to find that my requests were met with delays and evasions. The frustration was overwhelming. I felt not only a sense of financial loss but also a personal failure. As someone who has dedicated my life to serving and protecting others, it was difficult to accept that I had been deceived. I spent countless hours researching and trying to understand how I could recover my investments, but each lead seemed to lead me further into a maze of deceit. The emotional toll was significant, and I was left feeling uncertain about my future. Just when I thought all hope was lost, I encountered LION CYBER SECURITY COMPANY. Their reputation for helping victims of financial fraud caught my attention. After reaching out, I was met with a knowledgeable and empathetic, They carefully assessed my case and outlined a clear plan of action, giving me the guidance I desperately needed. With their support, I was able to recover 95% of my losses, a result I once thought was impossible. This experience has been a profound lesson in the importance of vigilance in financial matters and the value of seeking help when necessary. The world of investments can be fraught with risks, and it’s very crucial to remain cautious. I now urge others to be careful with their investments; not everyone is trustworthy. Always conduct thorough research, and when in doubt, consult professionals who have a proven track record. It’s a lesson I will carry with me, both in my professional life and personal finances.

My name is Kárpáti Sebestyén. I’m 61 years old, a retired Hungarian medical doctor, and earlier this year, I went through one of the most difficult experiences of my life.
I was the victim of a carefully orchestrated investment scam that drained me of everything I had—$715,000, my entire life savings. It was more than just financial loss. It was shock, disbelief, and the overwhelming fear that everything I had worked for was gone forever.
Just when I thought there was no way out, I came across a company called SPYHOST. I was skeptical at first—after all, I had just been scammed—but something told me to give it a chance. And to my absolute amazement, they recovered every cent I lost within 48 hours.
It still feels unreal. In a matter of days, my despair turned into relief. Spyhost didn’t just recover my funds—they gave me back peace of mind, dignity, and a second chance at life.
If you’ve lost money to a crypto or digital asset scam, please don’t give up. There is hope. I can’t recommend Spyhost enough—they were a godsend when I needed it most.

I don’t usually share personal stories like this, but if it helps even one person avoid what I went through—or gives someone the hope to fight for what they’ve lost—then it’s worth it.
Don’t lose hope. Help is out there.
