An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that Donegal’s Councillors should be dealing with the county’s major waste management and waste enforcement issues.
The Taoiseach said that responsibility lies with local authorities to control waste enforcement and that Councillors should hold the executive to account.
The Taoiseach said that the RTE Investigates programme uncovering Ireland’s illegal dumping controversies “was a disturbing picture that tells us that we have a long way to go when it comes to waste enforcement in Ireland.”
The programme claimed that illegal dumping was taking place on a massive scale in Moville, Rossbracken, and there had been major cross-border dumping problems in Bridgend.
