“Our beautiful countryside and natural heritage has been desecrated by those who put profit by poison above the wellbeing of their own community,” he said.

“This is the first incident of this nature for some time. The residents of this area hope that it will be the last. It is long past time that those involved in the dumping of toxic waste in South Armagh desist.

“There is a bright future for the Ring Of Gullion area with massive potential for an expanded tourism product bringing jobs, investment and prosperity to a long neglected region. The gangsters involved in fuel laundering cannot be allowed to jeopardize this,” Larkin added.
