Protest At City Hall Over Illegal Dumping At Ellis's Yard
The protest gets underway at 4.30pm this evening
A protest is to be mounted outside City Hall this evening as fresh calls are made for action to be taken on illegal dumping at Ellis's Yard in Ballyvolane...
Last year the fire service were called out to the site 90 times which led to renewed appeals for the closure of the site on the northside of the city
€184,000 has been spent on cleanups in Ellis's Yard since 2008 and residents say they have had enough
Locals, who have already reported the site to the Environmental Protection Agency, have promised to bring the "sights, smells and sounds" of the dump to this evening's protest
Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show on Cork's RedFM Noreen Murphy says City Council must deliver on it's promise to clean up Ellis's Yard
