Dump being washed into the sea in Bray

A dump holding 200,000 tonnes of rubbish is being washed into the sea more than 20 years after the problem was identified, a report on the dangers of erosion reveals.

The disused landfill north of Bray, which stopped taking in waste at least 25 years ago, is being eaten away by advancing waves from the Irish Sea.

Environmental group Coastwatch revealed about 200m of the face of the tip has been exposed by the weather and asbestos, rusted metal, heavy plastics, bricks and bags can be seen at the foot of eroded cliffs.
