As Irish Water plans a massive sewage plant that will empty into Dublin Bay, off Ireland’s Eye, experts make the case for a total rethink on our relationship with sewage.

This documentary explains that our current policy aims to make sewage less problematic whereas, rather than being a problem, it could be the key to a climate action solution.
