Co-op puts weighbridge in order following prosecution
The co-op pleaded guilty and was convicted on two counts for using a non-verified weighbridge at Monamolin, in a recent action taken by NSAI at Gorey District Court.
It was fined €3,800 in fines and costs. An inspection last September showed the company had failed to rectify the weighbridge despite a previous warning to do so.
The Metrology Act 1996 obliges the user of a measuring instrument used in trade to ensure that it conforms to an approved design, is accurate and is secured against unauthorised or fraudulent adjustment.
