Council vows to fight litter louts as probe finds 120 illegal dumps

LOCAL authority officials have identified more than 120 illegal dumps in Co Cork and, to date, around 50 prosecutions have been initiated, some of which have been dealt with by the courts.

The council, in conjunction with gardaí, intend to step up the battle against

illegal operators. This will involve roadblocks and checks on lorries carrying refuse and also following suspect vehicles to their destinations.
