Truck-load of rubbish found near east Cork beauty spot

CORK County Council is investigating allegations of illegal dumping after the discovery of a truck-load of rubbish close to a beauty spot.

Council officials were dispatched to Ballybrannigan beach in east Cork yesterday after complaints about the rubbish. The dumping has been described as a “despicable” act.

Household items and electrical goods, including furniture, a washing machine, cushions, computer parts, and smaller domestic waste were dumped on the beach and near the cliffs.
