Refuse site found hidden in forestry

COUNTY council officials are investigating the origin of tonnes of refuse which was discovered hidden within forestry.

The find was made yesterday in North Cork, just a few miles from where a 10-acre illegal dump was located last May.

The latest discovery was made at Coombe East, two miles north-west of the village of Glenville. The site, which is about 40 metres wide, was strewn with electrical appliances, worn tyres, bottles and a large amount of refuse in plastic bags.
