The removal of many tonnes of waste at a controversial dump near the Offaly border still hasn t started.
The dump is located at the former Shannon Vermicomposting site, near Rathcabbin in county Tipperary.
Cllr Joe Hannigan pointed out that there are demanding logistics regarding the movement of the waste .
He continued, it also has to be incrementally done because it will have to be deposited in Ballaghveny Landfill, which is located near Moneygall and Toomevara, in a layered system together with other types of waste. This means there will be a layer of the vermicomposting waste, then a layer of building rubble, then another layer of the vermicomposting waste, followed by a layer of rubble on top of that, and so on. It s estimated it will take six years to remove all the waste from the Rathcabbin site.”
