A few years ago, the NIEA and I were made aware of an illegal asbestos dump in my constituency. Basically, a large hole was filled with asbestos and then covered over. The asbestos is still there, and there have been no prosecutions. Obviously, I will not go into the details. However, given that, when an individual moves on, the case seems to fall off the page — it is not passed from one officer to another — is the environmental crime unit working?
