STAGG WELCOMES INTERIM INJUNCTION TO PREVENT FURTHER WASTE DISPOSAL AT KERDIFFSTOWN DUMP

Deputy Emmet Stagg has welcomed the decision in the High Court today where Justice Ryan granted an Interim Injunction against Nephin Trading Limited in a case taken by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Interim Order made today stated Deputy Stagg prevents the acceptance of further waste at the Landfill until a full hearing of the High Court case is heard. No date has been set for the Full hearing and there is always the possibility of an appeal by Nephin Trading.

Whilst I previously criticised the tortuous procedure involved for the EPA in dealing with landfills the decision today is a welcome development for the people of Naas, Kerdiffstown, Johnstown, Sallins and Kill who have had to put up with serious odour problems from the dump over the past 7 months.

Deputy Stagg concluded by stating that whilst the war is not over a battle has been won today in the High Court and he looked forward to a satisfactory outcome following the full High Court hearing at a later date.
