I've got an old shed with corrugated Asbestos/concrete panels. How do I get
rid of these? is there someone who takes the down & get's rid of them? I'm
based in Co. Kildare.

Don't know what trained contractors there are in Kildare (maybe check the
Golden Pages) but you should make yourself aware of the regulations.
Here's a summary:

http://kildare.ie/countycouncil/index.html Search for Asbestos.

AUTHORITY TEL. NO. (01) 6620400 Health & Safety Authority Waste
Disposal Waste disposal, including the disposal of asbestos cement
comes under the remit of the provisions of the Waste Management

It's no danger to you. Wear a mask and don't cut it if you are
worried. The local council should have a special skip at the local
tip.

Remember these sheets have only been banned a couple of years and that
was to avoid health risks to the people actually making the sheets,
not the users. Asbestos makes a lot of dust and people mixing it for
process could not be trusted to really obey safety precautions for
prolonged exposure.

When we had to get rid of an asbestos roof, we just got masks to avoid
breathing in the dust, and broke it up with a hammer. No point in paying
some cowboy a fortune to do it for you.

All you have to worry about then is getting someone to dispose of it.
