Ireland referred to EU Court over waste
Ireland has again been referred to the European Court of Justice for failing to clean up its act on waste disposal.
The action, which is the second such move taken by the European Commission against Ireland, comes as another illegal hazardous dump was uncovered in Co Wicklow.
The Commission said complaints investigated over the last four years have provided evidence of uncontrolled private waste operations being carried out in many areas of the country, including counties Louth, Dublin, Waterford and Wicklow.
