Derry Courthouse.
A Derry food group has been fined for breaching its Pollution Prevention and Control Permit.
Foyle Food Group was fined £750 after pleading guilty at Derry Magistrates Court today.
The breach related to the Foyle Proteins rendering plant at Lisahally.
On 13 March, 2012, an inspector from NIEA (Northern Ireland Environmental Agency) found a large quantity of animal by-products had been spilled below the raw material reception area in the plant, which was contrary to the requirements of the permit.
Despite this the plant kept operating and processing more material.
The company was also ordered to pay £20 costs.
