Northside residents react to Country Clean court fine
Residents on the Northside of the city have hit out at the €12,000 fine imposed on Country Clean for several breaches of it's waste licence at it's Cork City depot. The EPA brought the prosecution against Country Clean Recycling, which last week pleaded guilty at Cork District Court to six breaches of the licence for its waste transfer station at Churchfield industrial estate, between May and August last. The Northside Says No To Rubbish campaign said they will continue their efforts to force the authorities to find an alternative location for the waste processing operation at the Country Clean depot in Churchfield. Campaigner Maurice Sheehan welcomed the company’s conviction but says he's unhappy with the penalty. AUDIO: Speaking to RedFM News he says they are more determined than ever to have the operations shut down and moved to Bottlehill. Click the PLAY button above to hear.
