Problem of illegal dumping in Athy to be tackled by politicians
The issue of fly-tipping will be top of the agenda for the Athy Municipal District meeting next week.
Bin bags filled with household rubbish are often spotted in litter blackspots on roadsides around the area.
Leaving or throwing litter in a public place is an offence that can be subject to an on-the-spot fine of €150, or a maximum fine of €3,000 if you are convicted in the district court.
Politicians will gather to discuss the issue in the council chamber at Athy Municipal District Office, Rathstewart on Thursday.
Councillors will also adopt schedule of municipal district works for 2016.
