<h3>The residents of a Beaufort residential housing estate have been enduring for many years, a sewerage system that not alone, does not work properly, but is also a serious health hazard, according to Fianna F&aacute;il&nbsp;Cllr.&nbsp;Michael Cahill</h3>
.
&ldquo;&ldquo;Coolmagort Avenue in Beaufort is the same housing estate where children and their parents get sick, the same estate where when it rains, raw sewerage flows around the footpaths and gardens of some of the houses, the same estate where, on occasion, raw sewerage has found it&rsquo;s way into washing machines in kitchens. And yet, the solution to the problem appears as far away as ever,&rdquo; said the Deputy Mayor of Kerry County Council and Cathaoirleach of Kenmare Municipal District.
&ldquo;This is a private housing estate and has not been taken in charge by the Local Authority and therefore is legally not their responsibility. This is as horrendous a living situation as I have seen in a modern housing estate and I am now imploring Minister Darragh O&rsquo;Brien, Irish Water and the Department of Housing to organise remedial works on this Sewerage System on behalf of these long suffering residents&rdquo; said Councillor Cahill.
&#8220;This work should commence with immediate effect&#8221; added Councillor Cahill.
&ldquo;These people should not have to suffer this danger and degradation any longer just because of the legal status of their housing estate.&rdquo;
