'The criminal damage is a disgrace, an absolute insult to the Leebeen Park Development committee and volunteers in Aughnacliffe' Pictures: Facebook Leebeen Park Development
There is an outrage in a north Longford community after 'lowlifes' damaged the car park and crashed into the entrance gate of a popular tourist amenity and much used community area.
The Leebeen Park Development group in Aughnacliffe posted photos on their social media pages of significant criminal damage and vandalism at their much admired park.
From the photos it is evident that a vehicle (or possibly more than one vehicle) engaged in a large number of dangerous diffing or donut manoeuvres, while an entrance gate to Leebeen Park was also crashed into.
