Confiscation Penalty For Waste Offences
A man has paid the price for criminal waste activities.
Turlough Breslan of Maghery Road, Portadown, Co Armagh was this week made the subject of a confiscation order of £166,696.65 at Omagh Crown Court under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
During a site visit in August 2006, officers from the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) discovered that Mr Breslan had been illegally keeping around 8,000 tonnes of controlled waste at Derrylea House, Derrylea Road, Dungannon.
The waste, derived from an animal feed company in the Republic of Ireland, was being kept without a waste management licence being in place for the site. An inspection under warrant was carried out in December 2006, at which point NIEA officers interviewed Mr Breslan under caution.
Mr Breslan was also given a three year conditional discharge under Article 4 (1) b of the Waste and Contaminated Land Order (Northern Ireland) 1997.
