Waste operator Jim Ferry has been told by a High Court judge that he will be sent to jail if he does not clean up his illegal waste facility at Rossbracken, Letterkenny.
Ferry was “a disgrace to the people of Donegal”, Mr Justice Max Barrett told him during a hitherto unreported sitting of the court on July 28th.
The Irish Times today report how the hearing was sparked by a Donegal County Council application for an order of attachment and committal against Ferry.
In plain English, the council wanted him imprisoned for contempt, because of his failure to adhere to a High Court order granted last April.
The day after being told he would be jailed, a fire broke out inside a shed at the illegal facility. It was the latest in the chain of extraordinary events attending the latter-day life and times of Ferry’s Donegal waste enterprises.
