    A young mother in west Meath was fined for littering by a warden after having a run in with a labour candidate at her front door ,she tore up a candidates leaflet and threw it on the ground in her own garden but later cleaned it up and put the leaflet in her bin ,
    Litter warden called the next day to talk about the incident and fine her €150 after a call from the labour candidate,

    The candidate then said he made the call for the good of the community

    The thread has been done and forgotten already so it's probably news to people again.

    If that was true, I doubt that she would be getting fined. I cannot see how the actions described above are a breach of what I'm reading on Citizen's Advice.

    I was wondering about a fine if the property was her's but I heard her on TodayFM and she mentioned it was a Council house - think that might be the difference.

    To be fair to her, she didn't name the TD at all on air. Delighted he was identified later though and hope he gets f**k all votes. "For the good of the community" - such bullsh*t. Vindictiveness pure and simple.

    Anyhoo, he's lucky she shoved the leaflets back at him. I would have shoved them up his ****!
