The Argus newspaper reports today that residents at Hackballscross are concerned about a proposed landfill and waste management facility at Clonaleenan. According to the article: "Local resident Frank Woods commented: 'the experience with these facilities is that they bring a major increase in traffic, dust, litter, vermin, noise and pollution. 'Longer term they pose a major threat to surface and ground water systems and would affect a very large area.'Anyone wishing to find out more about this campaign can contact Frank Woods on 087-2671944 or email fgwoods@eircom.net."
