Crackdown needed on illegal dumping of medical waste, says Cork councillor

Local authorities need to work with the HSE and medical professionals to crack down on the illegal dumping of medical waste, according to one representative from a town where needles and other materials were found on a roadside.
Cork County Council is investigating after used needles, medical boxes and other materials were found in the grass verge on a roadside in Carrigaline, Co Cork last week.
