Cork city faces €250k bill to clean up illegal dump yet again

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now been asked to investigate activity on the Ellis’s Yard site on the northside of Cork City amid fears it poses a serious environmental and public health risk.
Fianna Fáil councillor Ken O’Flynn lodged a formal complaint with the State’s environment watchdog yesterday after firefighters were called to deal with several rubbish fires on the site across the weekend.
