Action sought on fly-tipping issue
March 7, 2021
CALLS for urgent action on illegal dumping have been repeated in response to concerns about the worsening biodiversity crisis.
At a meeting of the Physical Development Meeting committee of the local authority last week, Councillor Alan O’Callaghan said community groups are fed up with having to respond to the ongoing problem of fly-tipping in scenic areas across the county. The Fianna Fáil members’ comments followed a detailed presentation from Heritage Officer Congella McGuire on biodiversity initiatives in the county, and an outline of the threats to nature created by pollution and other issues.
