Landfill not to blame for Tralee flies: council
The large landfill is 18km north of Tralee, and flies would not travel such a distance, a council spokesman said yesterday amid complaints from food businesses in Tralee.
Tralee councillor Cathal Foley said businesses were unable to contain the infestation of flies and they had lost a considerable amount of money due to throwing out food. He is seeking a detailed report from the council on the fly infestation caused by the works at the landfill site.
