A Waterford councillor detailed the incident in a post on social media

There is frustration in County Waterford after “pages and pages of paper” were scattered across a scenic local area last weekend.

Sinn Féin councillor Donnchadh Mulcahy detailed the incident in a post on social media on Saturday morning last.

In the Facebook post, Cllr Mulcahy wrote: “I was up at the top of Tallow Hill this morning after receiving reports of more rubbish being dumped.

“This time it is literally pages and pages of paper scattered around the place. Someone is simply acting the bo*****.

“Unfortunately, dumping seems to be becoming an ongoing issue in this area and also the mill road, it is completely unacceptable.”

He continued by saying that he would report the incident to Waterford City and County Council.

“There is absolutely no excuse for treating our countryside like this.

“I will be reporting this to the Council, but if anyone has any information on who may be responsible, or witnessed anything suspicious, please report it.”

“Our countryside belongs to all of us. Please respect it,” Cllr Mulcahy concluded.
