Stricter regulations needed at Cork camper van site after excrement dumped in fields, council hears

'Anything we can do to deter that would be great, they are only a small minority but they give a bad name to all the other camper van users,' said Independent councillor Finbarr Harrington

'It’s great to see camper vans coming, but they have to be parked properly and not just left up on a bank somewhere,' Fine Gael councillor Caroline Crowley said. Picture: Stock

Irresponsible camper van owners are dumping human excrement in scenic areas of West Cork, according to a local councillor.

The issue was raised by Bantry-based Independent Ireland councillor Danny Collins at the recent meeting of Cork County Council’s West Cork municipal district.
