• Kilkenny man ordered to pay €20,000 to Tidy Towns groups over waste case Breach of the Waste Management Act (not holding a waste licence) · Co. Kilkenny

  Kilkenny County Council inspectors found a large stockpile of mixed waste on lands at Kilree, Threecastles, after a complaint from a member of the public, with the offences dated to 2023. Damian Lennon, a man from Old Town, Ballyragget, initially contested six counts under the Waste Management Act at two locations, but changed his plea to guilty on one count of not holding a waste licence after two witnesses gave evidence. He was convicted at Kilkenny District Court in November 2024, and reports say he has since paid the €30,000 plus VAT costs ordered to the council. In March 2025 Judge Power ordered him to pay a €20,000 charity donation split between Keep Kilkenny Beautiful and Tidy Towns Kilkenny, with two months to pay, after which the judge said he would apply the Probation of Offenders Act.
