Illegal dump site probe continues

IT will be weeks before the investigation of what is potentially one of the biggest illegal dumpsites in the country is completed, experts admitted yesterday.

The dumpsite is located on land owned by Roadstone in Blessington and Wicklow County Council is now trying to quantify the full extent and nature of the dumping and any potential environmental risk.

A spokesperson for Roadstone said they were both surprised and disappointed to learn that material had been dumped on their land without their knowledge or approval.
