Thanks to Tenmill for more Useful Information

Depositing muck on the roads is an offence under Irish law. I suggest that you contact first the litter warden of your county council; if that doesn't work, try a county councillor; if that doesn't work, a TD, if that doesn't work, the Minister for the Environment. I advise you to take photographs and record the dates, times and contents of all phone calls and letters and to get the full name of everybody you speak to on the phone. If you can get photos of registration numbers or company names on trucks, so much the better. Make a show of standing outside the site taking photos.

The law is on your side and you can get results if you push for it. I have.

Under the Litter Pollution Act, 1997, "No person shall deposit any substance or object so as to create litter in a public place or in any place that is visible to any extent from a public place".
where the terms "deposit", "litter" and "public place" are defined thus:

"deposit", in relation to a substance or object that can constitute litter in respect of any place, means to throw, drop, dump, abandon or discard the substance or object, as the case may be, or allow it to escape or be released in or into the place;

"litter" means a substance or object, whether or not intended as waste (other than waste within the meaning of the Waste Management Act, 1996 , which is properly consigned for disposal) that, when deposited in a place other than a litter receptacle or other place lawfully designated for the deposit, is or is likely to become unsightly, deleterious, nauseous or unsanitary, whether by itself or with any other such substance or object, and regardless of its size or volume or the extent of the deposit;

and

"public place" means any place to which the public has access whether as of right or by permission and whether subject to or free of charge;
