Man at centre of illegal dumping probe applies for waste permit

THE man at the centre of a suspected illegal dumping probe in Cork has applied for a waste collection permit.

David Greenwood, of Sarsfield Court in Glanmire — the operator of Greenwood Skip Hire — published a legal notice in newspapers on Friday stating his intention to apply to Cork County Council within two weeks for a permit to collect industrial waste.

The notice was published the day after council officials shut down a suspected illegal dump site at Sarsfield Court on foot of a warrant.
