Mothballed €50m superdump will open eventually, council insists
Declan Daly, assistant county manager, said there would be a requirement for residual landfill in the future and the council had an excellent facility ready to open at Bottlehill.
The council was last year forced to put on hold the opening of the site, 22km north of Cork City, as there was a surplus of landfill sites in the country. Much of the waste generated in Cork is still being disposed of in sites in other counties.
