Carbery sanctioned by EPA on plant waste

A LEADING West Cork food producer has been taken to task by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for breaching limits on discharges from its waste water treatment plant.

On foot of the breaches, the EPA issued Carbery with a number of non-compliance notices, most recently following an incident in March.

The Carbery plant is located in Ballineen, not far from the Bandon River.
