The State’s forestry service Coillte will have to spend €100,000 clearing up 600 tonnes of industrial and domestic waste dumped on two sites in Kingscourt, Co Cavan recently. “We deal with waste on a regular basis year on year, but I think this really takes the biscuit. It’s 600 tonnes of a mish-mash of industrial and domestic waste which was hauled into two sites side by side outside Kingscourt in Cavan,” he told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland. It is very unsightly, very large and it will be a major problem to dispose of it. We pride ourselves in our forests and in the way we manage and keep them.
