PAC urged to reopen Askeaton case

ANGRY residents in a Co Limerick area plagued by environmental scares yesterday demanded a breakdown of the money spent investigating the problem.

The Cappagh Farmers Support Group (CFSG) claims €2.79 million spent on the €5.32 million Askeaton investigation has not been accounted for.

Locals believe cancer levels in Askeaton are running three times above the national average, and say hundreds of animals are still suffering from inexplicable diseases.
