The illegal dump that has been enraging residents in north Coolock for over a decade is set to cost €10 million to clean up and redevelop, according to Dublin City Council's boss.
The giant mound of commercial and household rubbish has been building in Moatview Court housing estate for over ten years and has led to fury from local residents. Dublin Live previously revealed that €400,000 had been spent clearing a "section" of the site already.
However, Council Chief Executive Owen Keegan has said he is now "satisfied that dumping on the site has effectively ceased" after a year long operation to shut it down. The operation included "covert and overt surveillance of the site 6 days a week" as well as regular garda checkpoints and on-site visits.
