Man fined after cross-border extradition over illegal scrapyard

Meegan was sentenced to fines totalling £1,500 plus a £60 offender levy at Newry Crown Court on Friday for breaching waste management legislation.

After establishing that Meegan had no license or authorisation to permit vehicle breaking on the site, NIEA issued a notice to Meegan to cease activity.

He was subsequently ordered to remove the waste and supply the relevant paperwork proving its lawful disposal.

The paperwork was not submitted, and following a further six site inspections between 26 February 2018 and 24 September 2019 by the NIEA, more ELVs and mechinical waste was discovered accumulating at the site.

The controlled waste found at 75 Ballsmill Road Crossmaglen during the course of the NIEA investigation consisted of up to 100 ELVs which included lorries and heavy plant machinery, cars, tyres, chemical/oil drums, lead acid batteries, vehicle parts and paint cans.

After the arrest warrant was issued, Meegan was subsequently detained on 5 January 2024 and returned to NI on 24 January 2024 where he remained until the trial was heard.
