Uisce Éireann is criticized for lack of transparency regarding sewage issues at Shannonvale Park, which campaigners claim affects the Jones Bridge water treatment plant. A Freedom of Information request revealed that runoff from the park enters the River Argideen, raising concerns about contamination.

The plant has experienced 41 shutdowns between January 2020 and February 2024, attributed to ammonia and nitrate spikes. Uisce Éireann maintains the drinking water is safe, despite ongoing public concerns.
