Inspectors of the huge illegal dump in north Coolock had their cars set on fire while they inspected the site, Dublin City Council's Chief Executive has said.
Dublin Live previously revealed the illegal dump that has been enraging residents for over a decade is set to cost €10 million to clean up. Council boss Owen Keegan has now admitted the local authority has no "legal recourse" against those carrying out the dumping because they "can't prove who is doing this".
This is despite DCC and An Garda Siochana launching a year-long surveillance operation which has stopped further dumping on the site. Mr Keegan told Cllrs at a meeting: "We are pretty happy no additional material has been put on the site now for some time."
