Dumping heatwave in Longford: ‘animals wouldn't even leave a mess like this’
TidyTowns volunteer says pictures ‘show the darker side of the effects of the recent fine weather’ in Lanesboro and Ballyleague in counties Longford and Roscommon
The ‘darker effects’ of the heatwave are unfortunately very apparent on the banks of beautiful Lough Ree in Lanesboro and Ballyleague.
Gerry Trimble of Ballyleague TidyTowns explained, “Our Facebook pictures highlight what happens up and down the country. These pictures show the darker side of the effects of the recent fine weather.”
On their Facebook page, the voluntary group posed the question: “It begs the question what and who we are?
“Animals wouldn't even leave a mess like this. No respect and no regard. More money than culture. Even clothes discarded.”
Food packaging, alcohol cans and bottles, plastic water bottles, towels and shorts can also be clearly seen in the photos.
