Here we go (a-dumping) again


The serial illegal dumper on McGarry's Lane must really appreciate Kildare County Council’s quick response in removing his loads, writes Brian Byrne. This is the third such incident in as many weeks at St Brigid's Cemetery.
It's another ten or so bags, containing many Peroni and Heineken beer bottles, and once again a Lidl bag of rubbish among the black bags full of domestic waste.
The Kildare Community Warden was investigating the previous dumpings. There might, or might not, be a clue in this batch on the cigarette packet. It bears the mandatory cancer warning required in many countries. In this case, it's in Romanian. Of course, that could be an Irish person who buys smuggled cigarettes.
The Diary does not like having to cover this kind of story, especially repeatedly. Nor, we are sure, does the council appreciate it. Those in our community who regularly visit the cemetery are more than fed up.
