Shane Kenny convinced Achill water contamination triggered medical relapse

“I’ve suffered nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea last week, constant stomach problems and then so much body pain, shoulders and arm, severe headache that I had to see my doctor at 10pm on Monday night last here in Achill thinking I was having a heart attack – I’ve had a home here for 21 years.”

When the doctor noted there was a problem due to aluminium contamination with the local water supply, Kenny did his own research – as he had to do because his neurological condition is so strange and challenging, and consulted a scientist familiar with an aluminium pollution incident at Camelford in the UK in 1988. He said he was immediately struck by how people were affected by it, which tallied with his recent symptoms.

On possible health threats, it added: “As soon as the issue came to light Irish Water immediately consulted with the HSE and the DNC notice was put in place. Any queries in relation to health matters should be directed to the HSE.”
