LIMERICK City and County Council has welcomed the conviction, for illegal dumping, of a man at Limerick District Court.
Michael Stanners, aged 38, of Pineview Gardens, Moyross was prosecuted by the local authority arising out of a number of incidents in the city during July 2019.
After pleading guilty to an offence, under Section 32(1) of the Waste Management Act, 1996, the defendant was fined €100 and disqualified from driving for one year.
During a hearing earlier this month, Judge Alan Mitchell was told on July 10, 2019, the council was informed that waste was being loaded onto a vehicle outside a commercial premises at Upper Gerald Griffin Street in the city centre.
