Ballyheigue to tackle illegal dumpers

PEOPLE in a popular north Kerry seaside resort are on the warpath against illegal dumpers and litter louts.

Residents of Ballyheigue, who recently filled upwards of 200 plastic bags with rubbish collected in the area, are now going to take the car registration numbers of people they see dumping locally.

The numbers will then be passed onto Kerry County Council which, earlier this week, appealed to communities to become involved in the campaign against indiscriminate dumping.
