It hasn’t been a happy St Brigid’s Day for the people of Faughart and Louth County Council after two cubes of diesel laundering sludge were at St Brigid’s Shrine on this her feast day.
The discovery was made in the grounds of the car park at the shrine with council officials on site dealing with the matter. This is one of a number of fuel waste dumps that have been discovered in the area in the first few weeks of the year.
Meanwhile, The Fairgreen, Inner Relief Road, Blackrock village and The Loakers were all closed due to flooding this afternoon.
