Rubbish being dumped 'every day' in one part of Co Kildare

There is illegal dumping of rubbish 'on a daily basis' in a rural part of Co Kildare, a councillor said.

Councillor Martin Miley called on Kildare Co Council to investigate the problem at Lughill - about 4km south of Monasterevin.

The Fianna Fail politician will raise the issue at a meeting of Athy Municipal District on June 20.

He said: "There is large-scale illegal dumping on a daily basis on a site at Lughill, Monasterevin."
