It will cost £50 million to clean up dump at Mobuoy near Derry
Said Cllr Harkin: “Over the past week, every local mainstream party has paraded its commitment to the environment.
“They have all sent representatives to Glasgow to give interviews in an effort to associate themselves with calls for drastic action to save the world.
“They were just as unanimous back in 2014 in voting at the Assembly for a public inquiry into how more than a million tonnes of toxic waste was dumped on Derry’s doorstep.
“But there’s been no public inquiry.
“The toxic waste still festers there, with nobody held responsible.
“Now that the environment is top of the news agenda, they are all out presenting their counterfeit credentials as fighters against the creation of waste and pollution of the land.
“The only thing the establishment parties are serious about recycling is empty rhetoric.”
