CRH ‘knew nothing about dumping’

VBOSSES at the cement giants CRH claimed yesterday they knew nothing about illegal dumping on their lands in Co Wicklow until it was investigated by authorities.

Wicklow County Council claimed to have no knowledge of illegal dumping in the county until August 2001, despite receiving complaints back in 1998.

But CRH managing director Tony O’Loghlen was accused of failing to tell the full story from the company’s point of view about the dumping at the 650 acre site in Wicklow.
