People dumping contents of bins during the night

COUNCILLOR Frank Godfrey is appealing for the town to ‘get clean’ in time for the forthcoming Fleadh Cheoil, stating that it needs a paid overhaul, with dumping blighting the landscape.

‘It does not look good and gets a terrible impression of the town,’ he stated.

He would urge anyone who comes across those dumping to report the matter to the council.

‘ There are real health problems possible with the scale of dumping that’s going on,’ he stated.

He told of people wheeling their bin onto a green area at night and dumping the contents.

‘ The council can only do so much in clearing this up. It’s down to the people to stop this,’ he remarked.

Dumping has become wholesale and there are health fears as a result, a local councillor states.
