Residents who live overlooking a vast illegal dump on the northside of Cork city have demanded a start-date for a promised clean-up. And the Irish Examiner has learned that the basic clean-up of the city council-owned Ellis’s Yard site in Ballyvolane will cost at least €53,000. Rubbish at Spring Lane, Cork. Ellis’s Yard site in Ballyvolane last year. “Residents of Ballyvolane, who suffer from asthma and other chronic breathing or cardio difficulties, may possibly face an increased risk of deteriorating health and possibly death due to the toxic smoke from the fires on Cork City Council property at Ellis's Yard.”
