Pensioner on return to native Athy expresses shock at 'dog muck'
This is a new initiative that could well take off in Co Kildare in a bid to reduce dog litter.
A great- grandmother who returned to her native Athy from England has expressed disgust at 'dog muck' at St Michael's Churchyard road.
The outraged emigrant said: "There is no respect for the people who have to walk down there, to have a quiet moment with their loved ones, who lie there. Something should be done to stamp this dreadful habit out."
She expressed confusion as to why people 'don't respect their town.'
The pensioner said: "Nevertheless I love my country and wish it was in my power to return for good."
