#Contaminated - Drogheda Port Company said it was normal practise to transport shipments of contaminated soil to Rotterdam.

Some concerns had been raised when the trucks were spotted driving through Drogheda, last Thursday, with the loads that came from a construction site.

But Captain Martin Donnelly said the process was 'bread and butter' for the port and something they are well used to dealing with.

The shipment on the MV Brufjell to Rotterdam departed on the Thursday night.
