Temporary order stops recycling facility from accepting waste
Summary
Fingal County Council obtained a temporary High Court injunction under the 1996 Waste Management Act to stop Cloughwater Plastics Ireland Limited, trading as Van Werven Ireland, and its directors Shane Woods and Ton Van Der Giessen from accepting any further waste at their plastic recycling facility in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11. The council argued that the facility was storing excess waste that could cause environmental pollution and fire hazards, and that the operators had failed to comply with permit conditions, including providing a Closure Restoration and Aftercare Management Plan and insurance details. The injunction was granted ex‑parte by Justice Charles Meenan on Wednesday, with the case adjourned to a later date in the month. The respondents were allowed to apply to have the order lifted or varied, and the council retained the right to seek a variation before the court. The order requires the respondents to cease accepting waste immediately.
