Dry recyclables meant to be stored indoors at Killarney Waste Disposal facility were stored outdoors and there was run-off to a field, EPA found

There was 'no actual environmental damage' caused by the actions of Killarney Waste Disposal after it was convicted for breaching the limits of its waste licence at its recyclables storage facility near Killarney, Judge Sinead Behan noted, in her decision at Tralee Circuit Criminal Court at Tralee Courthouse, Tralee, Co Kerry.

Liverpool must think Mamardashvili is something very special if they believe he’s better than KelleherSean Murphy, director of Killarney Waste Disposal Unlimited Company, pleaded guilty in March to two offences of breaching his licence under the Waste Management Act. In 2006, KWD had applied for a licence to handle 59,000 tonnes of recyclables, but there was “a considerable delay” in the granting of that licence. It was 2015, almost nine years later, before the license came through.The material collected while the licence was awaited would otherwise have been left at the kerbside.

In her decision, Judge Behan said “there was no question but the limit was exceeded, sometimes amounting to over twice the limit of the licence”.
