Superdump could have ‘significant’ impact

IT may be 10 years before Limerick has its own waste incinerator, a Bord Pleanála hearing into a proposed 98-acre super dump was told yesterday.

Limerick County Council wants to extend its 25-acre landfill at Gortadroma in west Limerick by developing an additional 45 acres of landfill and a buffer zone of 53 acres.

Local residents, along with the Gortadroma Action Group, Kilcoleman National School and the White River Anglers Association have lodged objections to the proposed extension.
