Reports claim Ulster companies are dumping tonnes of Republic's waste here

No, I'm not talking about god-awful boybands. Is this what they mean when they talk about cross-border co-operation? Lisburn Council has written to the DoE demanding an investigation into reports that large quantities of waste are being illegally dumped in Northern Ireland, something I could have sworn was reported last July.

Apparently the waste is brought into Northern Ireland on the proviso that it is recycled, however when the recycling plants reach capacity, the excess is sent straight to landfill with the companies pocketing the cash regardless. It's been well publicised that Northern Ireland has a problem with the amount of rubbish it sends to landfill and we can ill-afford for unscrupulous companies to be importing it from elsewhere.
