Illegal dumping on rise in Kerry

One of the country’s leading tourist areas last year saw a 17% rise in the number of illegal dumping cases.

Small-scale dumping remained the same in Kerry, but there was an increase in larger scale dumping in 2014, according to a report on litter pollution that was detailed at yesterday’s county council meeting in Tralee.

There were calls for tougher action against culprits caught in the act of indiscriminate dumping and people were urged to report offenders.
