Ms Geraldine Tallon:

It is possible the figure provided by the county manager relates to a number of illegal dumps in Wicklow. Whitestown was not unique and unfortunately there is also the case of Stephenstown and illegal dumping on the Wicklow-Carlow border. My colleague Mr. Ronan Mulhall may have broader figures and the EPA may have a comment on illegal waste dumping, because it is a serious and costly issue for the State.
