Illegal waste lagoons still in operation after ban

ILLEGAL waste lagoons which the European Court ordered closed 27 months ago are still in operation.

Last January the owner of the land gave a court undertaking to Cork County Council that he would resolve the situation within three months but, as yet, has not fulfilled the commitment.

Angry residents living near the site said yesterday that they will take a civil court action if Cork County Council doesn’t act rapidly to force their total closure.
