Illegal dump landowners are facing a multi-million euro clean up bill
Under the Polluter Pays Principle, the High Court ruled those involved in the illegal dumping of hazardous waste were negligent and must pay the costs of remediating the site between them.
It could cost between 4million and 20m depending on what method was used to dispose of the hazardous hospital waste which included liquid blood which had been found in tubes and needles.
