EVIDENCE ON ALLEGED ASBESTOS DUMP IN TUAM AT ORAL HEARING

Date Published: 23-Jan-2013

The oral hearing on a proposed biogas and anaerobic digestion facility in Tuam is hearing witness statements over an alleged asbestos dump.

John Reynolds, who worked for RMWS, says hundreds of bags filled with asbestos were dropped in a hole and filled over with concrete at the proposed site location in Airglooney.

Now an elderly man, Mr.Reynolds struggled to hear some of the questions, and solicitor John O’ Donnell decided to sit beside him for clarity.

Mr O’ Donnell asked Mr. Reynolds to point out the exact location of the dump, and he said it was at the back of the Erin foods building.

Further evidence could be heard this afternoon, day two of the oral hearing.
