Five Cork companies have been identified as having poor environmental performance.
It comes after inspections were carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency on licenced industrial and waste facilities.
The five Cork companies on the EPA's list were Eras Eco Ltd, Forge Hill Recycling Ltd. , Gardini trading as Munster Joinery, North Cork Co-Op Creameries and Timoleague Agri Glen.
Commenting on the report, Dr Tom Ryan, Director of the EPA’s Office of Environmental Enforcement said:
“The increased focus on the improvement of odour and noise management at EPA licensed sites has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of complaints received. The EPA will maintain a focus on nuisance arising from licensed sites and will take enforcement action, where appropriate.
