Report on interaction with the Liaison & WCC
WCC and Liaison Committee to oversee allocation and administration of community compensation funds
80% maximum funding applied. Can be offset by own / community effort. - but 5% cash needed against all external invoices own effort only allowed at €10 per hour
Communications challenging - it sometimes feels like WCC / LC is blocking effort rather than encouraging community effort. Given recent WCC funding issues this may be understandable.

Ballynagran Landfill Facility
Greenstar Holdings went into receivership in August 2012. The Bank of Ireland appointed David Carson as Receiver over Greenstar Holdings (those parts of the Greenstar Group not actively involved in landfïll operations). The Ballynagran landfïll is now being operated by Greenstar South East Limited. It should be noted that Greenstar South East is not the licensed operator of the Landfill - the licence is issued to Greenstar Holdings Ltd.
The EPA has issued proceedings in the High Court against Greenstar Holdings Ltd as Licensee of the landfill, Greenstar Ltd, Greenstar North East Ltd, Greenstar South East Ltd, Greenstar Connaught Ltd, KTK Landfill Ltd, Bank of Ireland and David Carson as receiver. This action seeks to recover monies which Greenstar was required to keep for purposes of closure, remediation, restoration and aftercare, and which, in breach of that requirement, it dissipated. Approximately €12 million of those monies is now in the hands of Bank of Ireland, and the Agency is seeking to recover it. The Agency is also seeking payment from Bank of Ireland of €6 million on foot of guarantees which it provided to ensure payment of Greenstar's liabilities.

Over €500K in community compensation fund has apparently been misappropriated by Greenstar / Receiver or Bank of Ireland.
Issues with Smells. Since January the smells from the Landfill have been particularly bad.
