Planning granted for major Waterford landfill

An Bord Pleanála has upheld the decision of the local authority to grant full planning permission for the landfill at Garrynagree, five miles outside Dungarvan just off the main Waterford/Cork road.

The landfill will cater for the needs of both city and county for the next 20 years. Work on it is expected to begin in the first half of next year, subject to the granting of a licence by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
