Faeces ‘illegally dumped’ in Wexford by Dublin council
The waste, taken from Dublin City Council’s sewage treatment plant in Ringsend was dumped on farmland at Peppards Castle near Gorey.
Waste is routinely spread on lands but it is usually treated to become tillage fertiliser. That removes potentially harmful material such as human coliform which poses a risk of contamination for up to 40 days.
