THE opening day of a Bord Pleanála hearing in Dungarvan yesterday into Waterford County Council’s proposal to develop a landfill outside the town, was told that in an ideal world waste would be buried five miles underground.

A CONTROVERSIAL super dump project is to go ahead in Waterford despite local objections.

A DECISION to increase the amount of waste dumped close to one of the country’s most popular beaches has been condemned as ‘lunacy’ by an irate local politician.
