UPDATE: That heap of rubbish left at the railway underpass? It's been set on fire

Yesterday the Dundalk Democrat reported how a popular Dundalk walkway has become the target of vile litter bugs, in the latest in an epidemic of fly tipping and dumping to hit the town. 

A photo - which was posted to Facebook by a concerned local - has been taken of a heap of rubbish that has been left under the railway underpass between the Ecco Road and the back of the Ice House Hill park area. Shameless dumpers had left a filthy mattress and a sofa that has been completely torn apart sitting on the railway underpass which has come to be known locally as the 'China Bridge'.
