Council to appeal decision against planned landfill

A LOCAL authority which was told the Environmental Protection Agency intends to refuse it permission for a waste licence at a planned landfill is expected to appeal the decision next week.

Waterford County Council’s two landfills in Tramore and Dungarvan have now closed and waste is being transferred to Carlow.

Ten years ago, the council began looking for an alternative. Its battle for a landfill at Garrynagree has already seen it in the High Court twice with two judicial reviews also taking place.
