The well-run landfill in north Tipperary is managed by the local authority. The community near the site deserves to be applauded for the manner in which it has co-operated with the county council. Not only has the landfill been extended, but until recently it was used as the dump for County Clare when that county found itself without landfill capacity. North Tipperary County Council was willing to help in that instance, but such assistance is not the answer to landfill problems.
