Irish driver £1,225 A DRIVER for a Northern Irish transport company has been convicted of six cases of fly tipping heavy-duty industrial cardboard boxes in a Welsh lay-by.
David McMullan, who drives for Ballymoney-based Thompson Transport, was investigated by Environment Agency (EA) officers after they received information from Monmouthshire County Council that dumping of controlled waste had become a problem on the A465.
The illegal dumping took place between July and September last year. Agency officers found evidence that McMullan had made deliveries of waste paper to Ebbw Vale and collected boxes for return to Northern Ireland.
The boxes that were found in the lay-by were seen to be identical to those that had been delivered by McMullan.
When he appeared before Abergavenny magistrates they fined him £600 with £625 costs.
An EA spokesman says: "The agency believes that offenders must be made to pay for their indiscriminate actions."
