Meat plant pollution under fire

AN ANIMAL rendering plant which has been ordered to deal with an odour problem is now in trouble over noise pollution.

Local residents have been angered recently by smells coming from the plant and now say there is so much noise it is equivalent to living next door to an airstrip.

The factory at Ferrybank in Waterford has been ordered to repair part of its odour abatement system after the Environmental Protection Agency received 35 complaints from the public over the past year.
