LIMERICK City and County Council has sent a “warning letter” to Roadstone Provinces Ltd regarding its quarry in Ballyneety.
It follows Claire Keating, on behalf of Limerick Against Pollution (LAP), making a formal complaint to the council in April.
However, Roadstone told the Leader this week that “independently conducted environmental testing and monitoring at Ballyneety quarry has identified no issues of environmental concern”.
In its complaint, LAP called for “a comprehensive environmental risk assessment to be carried out on this site as a matter of urgency” while highlighting a number of concerns.
