Mayor demands probe into closure of waste company

IF questions about the liquidation of a Limerick waste disposal company are not addressed satisfactorily by its directors, gardaí should begin a criminal investigation, Limerick Mayor Cllr Diarmuid Scully declared yesterday.

Limerick Waste Recycling Ltd had been paid hundreds of thousands of euro in advance by up to 3,000 customers for a service they will not now get.

There is no hope of recovering any of the money as the liquidator said customers are unsecured creditors.
