A “mountain of manure” has been dumped on a vacant site on one of the main access routes to the world-famous tourist village of Blarney in Cork.

The huge steaming pile of manure, about 30ft long and up to 6ft high in places, is rotting on the former O’Reilly Travel site, within sight of Blarney Castle.
