Wexford rubbish ends up in North

AN investigation is under way into how up to five lorry loads of domestic rubbish thought to have come from Wexford and other parts of the South East ended up dumped on land almost 200 miles away in the North.

Strabane District Council and Wexford County Council are trying to trace the source of more than 100 tonnes of rubbish which included CVs from students applying for jobs. They are also attempting to discover how and why it was carried 200 miles and across the border to a site which is only licensed to take rubble.

Student CVs and letters addressed to residents in Gorey, Co Wexford, were among the items found dumped on the site. Other documentation with other addresses in the South East has also been recovered.
