Waste operations to cease in May

A WASTE management contractor who has run a recycling business without planning permission for more than six years has given an undertaking to cease operations at the site in north Kerry by May 31.

Eoghan McEnery, of South West Bins Ltd, who had received up to five previous adjournments to find new locations, sought a final extension at the circuit court in Killarney yesterday.

He had been granted planning permission by Kerry County Council for an alternative site near Causeway, but that permission was overturned earlier this year by Bord Pleanála, the court heard.
