Tyrone abbatoir unable to pay pollution fines after folding

A Co Tyrone abattoir which polluted a river is unable to pay fines which amount to £15,000 (€21,600) after going out of business.

Accountants confirmed that Ballygawley Pork Ltd had gone into liquidation after waste from overflowing storage tanks leaked into the Ballygawley Water, a prime fishing river, two years ago.
