Politicians refused access to dump site

LABOUR politicians were yesterday refused access to the site of a large illegal dump in Wicklow. The site is owned by building group Roadstone.

A spokesperson for Roadstone said permission to visit the site was refused because they did not want to slow down the site investigation by Wicklow County Council that had their full co-operation.

The Labour delegation included TDs Eamon Gilmore, Liz McManus, MEP Proinsias De Rossa and a number of city councillors.
