Thousands of tonnes of waste illegally dumped in rural Co Fermanagh will be returned to the Republic tomorrow.

THE Government is set to spend in excess of €20 million to repatriate waste which was illegally dumped in the North over the past decade.

THE Government is going to have to pay the lion’s share of a €200 million bill to repatriate almost 800,000 tonnes of waste originating from the south, but dumped in the north.
