The stretch of road in question is said to be close to a school and is popular with walkers and cyclists.

Sgt Ray Moloney of Cahir Garda Station says a man in his 60s was taken into custody yesterday following an operation which led to the identification of a suspect tractor and slurry tanker.

“He was arrested and detained at Cahir Garda Station and a file is currently being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.”

“Tipperary County Council officials and scientists attended the scene and established that the contents was of a human nature and it emanated from septic tanks.”

“It’s a very serious breach of the Waste Management Act of 1996 without even going into the seriousness for human and animal health.”
