Louth councillor seeks additional bins in Dromiskin

Dundalk South's Councillor Síonainn McCann, has called on Louth County Council to install more litter bins in Dromiskin to help serve the growing population in the area over the past number of years.

Cllr McCann raised the issue of litter in Dromiskin at the Louth County Council March meeting. The Sinn Féin councillor said that the population in Dromiskin has grown substantially over the past decade, which has resulted in an increase in footfall and unfortunately, she added, that has resulted in an increase in litter.

In comments to the Dundalk Democrat following the March meeting, Cllr McCann said that,  “Tidy Towns collected up to 76 bags of rubbish in Dromiskin which is a massive amount for that area.

"The Council provided them with a skip but I want the Council to be pro-active in tackling litter and am asking them to provide additional bins. There have been no additional bins or doggie bins installed despite the population increase.”
