Government papers in illegal dump
Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy has arranged for an officer to assist the PSNI in its investigation into how the papers, dating from last month, ended up on the landfill site near Omagh in Co Tyrone.
The 34 documents, briefing papers relating to EU Presidency meetings in Sweden and France, were discovered by journalist Anton McCabe following a tip off. Solicitors letters with addresses in Cork and telephone records of a family in Wexford were also found.
