The hearing of an action by 14 Co Clare residents over a dump located near their home has been adjourned at the High Court until June 30th. In the hearing, which opened before Mr Justice Shanley earlier this month, the residents claim they are surrounded by the dump at Doora, Ennis. They claim they face problems from rats, insects, fires, noise and smells.
In proceedings against Clare County Council they are seeking damages and orders restraining the council from using the land as a dump and directing it to rehabilitate the area or, alternatively, to stop extending the dump eastwards.
