Cork waste dumped in the North

LOCAL authority officials have been asked to investigate how waste from their county ended up being dumped illegally in the North.

The move followed reports in a Belfast newspaper that waste which originated in Co Cork had ended up being disposed of illegally in Fermanagh, Tyrone and Armagh.

Fine Gael councillor Peter Kelly yesterday asked Cork County Council officials to investigate who had dumped the waste in the North, after hearing that two public representatives on the other side of the border had made complaints to their local authorities.
