A man convicted of dumping in a protected bog in Westmeath has been ordered to pay a fine of almost 19 thousand euro.

The man, who admitted employing a driver to transport and dump soil on the land, intends to appeal the verdict.

Minister of State for Heritage Malcolm Noonan says illegal dumping is a serious issue and hopes the fine imposed acts as a deterrent to others.
