A multi-agency investigation has led to fines being issued in relation to the illegal dumping of 300kg of raw chicken in a rural area of Co. Meath earlier this month.
The chicken, which was dumped on roadside frontage in the greater Kentstown area, was discovered by landowners and farmers over the bank holiday.
The food waste, which could have potentially spread disease through birds, rodents and scavenging wild animals, was removed by Meath Co. Council who initiated investigations.
