Sunday Business Post | Irish Business News
Galway County Council has ordered Land Organics, a Kilkenny waste management company hired by Galway City Council, to stop dumping the so-called ‘sludge’ from the Mutton Island sewage treatment facility in the city.
Land Organics has said it will comply immediately with the council’s order, which it learned of last Friday. The city council will now have to make emergency arrangements for disposal of the waste, which is being produced at a rate of 130 tonnes per week.# The waste company has transported more than 7,000 tonnes of the city’s waste into rural east Galway each year since October 2005.
It has also taken about 3,000 tonnes of waste per year to the area from Mayo County Council. The sludge, which is a byproduct of the treatment process at the Mutton Island facility, was being stored on lands owed by an east Galway farmer before being spread on neighbouring agricultural lands as fertiliser.
Land Organics receives an undisclosed fee from Galway City Council to collect and dispose of the waste.
The city council did not comment when contacted last week.
Thank you EoinMn for your help. It seems that this has been done since 2005.
Seems nobody bother with any health inplications.
It seems that the last thing on thier minds was the people thay are suppose to represent.

Unfortunately this isn't Galway Co. Council's only environmental problem in the area:

Long term this could become a very costly problem for the local citizens, as the Galway City folk discovered all too recently...
Typical of the council to ignore people. Although Loughrea Angulars have been complianing for some time about the pollution of the Lake. And this lake is the drinking water supply of the local area.
