Council Called On To Investigate Fly-Tipping Incident In Clarecastle Amid Health Concerns

The Council is being called on to investigation a flytipping incident in Clare last week amid public health concerns. Organic waste including hedges and grass cuttings, metals and other waste, including offal or some form of meat waste, were dumped in the Skehanagh area of Clarecastle overnight on Wednesday last week. The incident was reported to the local authority and a clean-up operation has since been completed. Local Councillor Paul Murphy believes it may have been deposited there by contractors engaging regularly in illegal dumping and he hopes those responsible are tracked down.
