Official vows to probe illegal dump claims

THE Cork county manager has said he will personally investigate claims that an illegal waste dump in North Cork is still operating, more than a year after the European Court ordered its closure.

Mr Moloney described allegations made by a number of councillors as “dramatic” and said he would carry out a thorough investigation.

Standing orders were suspended at a meeting in County Hall when Cllr Liam O’Doherty (FG) claimed that work was still going on at the site at Ballard, Araglin.
