Residents in despair over illegal dump

RESIDENTS living close to an illegal waste-transfer station near Listowel say they are exasperated that the facility is still operating despite a court order in 2007 directing that it should close down. Speaking on the steps of Killarney Courthouse after Kerry County Council failed in its bid to jail the owner of South West Bins Ltd, Eoghan McEnery, residents at Carhooeragh, Kilmorna, said they have had to put up with constant noise, foul smells, swarms of flies and trucks operating from as early as 5am.
