Waste company directors facing contempt of court action
Summary
In a High Court case in Offaly, residents near the Oxigen Environmental waste recycling site in Barnan, Daingean, claim the facility has repeatedly breached a court order issued by Mr Justice Garrett Simons in September 2022. The order, based on the site's planning permission, restricts the facility to accepting only construction and demolition waste, such as stone, soil, brick rubble and concrete, and prohibits the acceptance of mixed dry recyclables, household or commercial skips, civic amenity waste, fridges, WEEE, mattresses, sofas, tyres and timber shredding. The residents allege that Oxigen, operating as Guessford Ltd, continues to process commercial, timber and municipal waste, causing noise and dust, and that the company has ignored communications about the breaches. They have brought fresh proceedings seeking the attachment and possible committal of directors Mr Sean Doyle and Mr Alan Doyle for contempt of court. The matter is set to return before the court early next week.
