Foul smell around D15

Caranica

Went downstairs this morning to a foul smell. Started to worry about an internal plumbing problem but then I opened the door to put the recycling out and was hit by a blast of a foul sewage esque smell. Got chatting to a neighbour who reminded me about the treatment plant being built in Waterville park. Since then I've heard the stench goes as far as Clonsilla and Little Pace. No reply from the council on the matter. Is this what we have to look forward to, like the residents of Ringsend?

Farmers spreading fertilizer whatever it is they use. Usually happens on especially nice days.

I dunno what they use these days but it seems to smell worse every year.

Nearly an annual thread this - most likely cause is slurry being spread on fields.

Noticed it too, I seem to remember the smell was just bad.. but this time it was definitely more sewer-ey (I don't think that's a real word).

Atlantic Dawn

Yes I got the smell earlier, is it human waste they are using?

These days, just be glad you can smell it.

Slurry as said before.
Trying to get 1 more cut of grass for hay or silage before growing season is over for good.
Could smell it too over in Leixlip as well today

Tis farming season.

Years ago slurry never smelt this bad. Even when you were on a farm. Whatever they put in it these days is horrific. Same with whatever they spray in public flower beds etc.

Epping Forest

Very strong around castleknock area at 6pm, had to close the windows just to breathe properly. Right at dinner time too. Mostly gone now though. Where is it coming from?

I posted earlier in the Tolka Valley thread as I was convinced it was to do with the work that they are currently carrying out there. With the slurry we'd never have to close the windows. This morning we had to, unbearable.

that wasnt slurry, that was human waste, 100%

completely different smells

and slurry isnt spread down the navan road where i can smell it

Biosolids, biosludge maybe.

I dunno what it is. But what ever they spreading smells far worst than any cattle slurry I've ever smelt.

I've been in this area for a long time. It's only in the recent years they've been spreading this. Now when they spread it, it's seems to travel over a very large areas.

There's also a lot less farmland now than there used to be in what is now Dublin 15. Back then there was never this smell. So something had changed. It's far more concentrated what ever it is. The smell also travels much further.

The last time this occurred I spotted the source, fields behind the Barnwell train station. I could see them spreading it on the fields, looked like slurry.

I'm not sure if this is where it's coming from now but smells similar. Came in strong waves 2 days ago but disappeared and its just hit again there this morning.
