Councillors rubbish consultants as failed superdump costs €1m

CASH-STRAPPED Waterford County Council has lost much more than the battle to site a 50-acre “super dump” five miles outside Dungarvan.

This week, the council’s director of services, Denis McCarthy, confirmed that the cost of the protracted landfill saga has topped €1 million.

The dump saga also involved high costs for local residents, who took a High Court challenge to the siting of the dump at Garrynagree.
