Waste company operator denies claims he made €3m from illegal dumping

A waste company operator behind the illegal dumping of thousands of tonnes of waste ran two cash accounts and had greater involvements in a pub and horses than he admitted to, the High Court has heard.

Jim Ferry, of Donegal firms Ferry's Refuse Collection and Ferry's Refuse Recycling, is facing possible jail for contempt of court over his alleged failure to co-operate with an investigation of his finances to establish where more than €3m he allegedly got from illegal disposing of waste went. He claims he never made that kind of money and he undercharged customers to collect their waste.
