Jenzsoph Ltd was convicted and fined €20 million for causing environmental pollution through nuisance odours at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 27 October 2015. The pollution arose at the Kerdiffstown landfill in County Kildare, according to RTÉ. The company was not represented in court and offered no defence. The Environmental Protection Agency said the fine reflected the seriousness of the case and the work needed to clean up the site. A local campaigner said the fine would be needed to help fund the clean-up, which the EPA estimated would cost €30 million over 30 years.
