Get tough on vandalism, drinking

This is the state of the flagstone steps down to St Brigid's Well after the latest spate of vandalism in The Valley.



Trees were also broken. The incident happened only weeks after the cleaning up of St Brigid's Well following its vandalisation with green paint.



Particularly in the current spell of balmy weather, the Valley is being used increasingly for drinking parties in the evenings and at night.



The glass and cans -- and the bags they're bought in -- which are left behind are regular and unsightly testament to this.

Other towns in County Kildare have implemented -- and also enforce -- prohibition against such drinking in public places.

Perhaps it is time that Kilcullen had similar regulation?
