Pressure on to clean up toxic waste site

ENVIRONMENT Minister Phil Hogan is expected to face a barrage of questions about what the Government intends to do with a toxic waste dump when he visits Cork shortly.

The toxic dump was identified in Haulbowline, in Cork harbour, in the summer of 2008.

Cobh-based Cllr John Mulvihill (Lab), who strongly criticised previous environment minister John Gormley over his handling of the issue, said he would seek answers about what the Government plans to do to make it safe.
