‘Absolutely disgusting’ - Local residents frustrated by further dumping in Waterford

Local residents have expressed their frustration at further dumping in West Waterford.

Labour Party councillor John Pratt addressed the subject in a post on social media last week.

In the Facebook post, Cllr Pratt shared pictures of an incident of dumping up past what used to be The Cat’s Bar out towards The Vee.

He said that he had reported the incident to the council and that its environment section was sorting it.

“Hopefully a name can be found and [they] catch the culprit,” he added.

A number of local residents expressed their outrage over the incident in the comments section of the post.

One woman wrote: “Absolutely disgusting people, no respect for our beautiful countryside.”

“They never stop John! No respect!,” another woman commented.

Meanwhile, one man said: “Good man John. One wonders the mentality of those who see fit to dump their rubbish here, there and anywhere rather than pay for a weekly collection like most of us.

“We'll say no more,” he added.
