Department Denies Haulbowline Report
A spokesman for the Department of the Environment has disputed newspaper reports which suggests that the Government could face immediate fines of between €20,000 and €100,000 a day if it does not act quickly to clean up the former Irish Ispat site at Haulbowline in Cork Harbour.
The spokesman told RTE news there is no likelihood of fines being imposed.
He added that the notice, which was issued last week, is part of a long standing legal case being taken against Ireland relating to other waste legacy sites.
Haulbowline was mentioned because it had no waste license.
