‘Grave concerns’ over toxic waste dump clean-up delay

PDforra, which represents enlisted men in the navy, made the comments after it was revealed plans for a major clean-up of the former Irish Steel site on Haulbowline Island could be delayed after the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform raised concerns about the scale of expenditure on the project.
It came just months after the Department of Agriculture, which is funding the clean-up of the island, announced details of the timetable for the €61m remediation works on the nine-hectare site which is due for completion in mid-2018.
