Waste disposal company fined for illegal dumping

A waste disposal company and its director, Louis Moriarty, have been fined a total of €60,000 at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today for illegal dumping in Co Wicklow.

Judge Tony Hunt said it was ironic that hotelier Moriarty (aged 68) was now trading on Ireland’s image as a green and beautiful country in his current business in contrast to his illegal dumping activities nine years ago.
