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.”

Tipperary County Council has bought the site of the former Rialto Cinema in the centre of Nenagh.
Councillors in Nenagh Municipal District learned last week about the purchase of the building at Banba Square, which has been out of use since Sheahan’s Hardware relocated.
Tipperary County Council says it’s a site of strategic investment in the Historic Quarter of the town, and that the building’s “striking and unusual façade will form part of this development”.
The Council paid under €500,000 for the premises. It is a protected structure under the Nenagh Town Plan. It is also recorded as having regional importance on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.
