Inagh Waste Facility Strategy Criticised

It’s claimed Clare County Council has "created a monster" in the controversial Ballyduffbeg Waste Mangement Facility as talks about closing the landfill continue.

Elected members are to hold another meeting on closing the dump in Inagh next week following more questions about the estimated 4 million euro required to open a new phase, and revelations that millions more will be spent even if it’s closed.

The County Manager insists that with revenue form landfill down to around 2 million euro – the four million development figure cannot be met, but members are questioning the figures and the impact closure could have on local bin charges.
