A retired waste company boss has been jailed over "serious environmental offences" at a Kildare landfill site that resulted in a public clean-up bill of almost €61 million.
Tony Dean’s conviction follows an investigation by the EPA and An Garda Siochana spanning almost 20 years.
The 70-year-old former Neiphin Trading Limited director was sentenced to three years for each of three charges after waste at the Kerdiffstown, Naas facility reached 116 metres in height and contaminated the air and groundwater.
