    Park properly and take your litter home with you. It can be done.

    how bizarre is it that posters are trying to blame this on people who have been protesting for a greener planet, based on absolutely nothing :confused::confused::confused:

    Like I said before education and selfishness. They dont understand science so just dismiss it (hence the classic "its cold so it cant be global warming").

    And they also dont have to decency to do anything that might help anyone other than themselves in any way whatsoever.

    Incentivise people to report littering. If you can catch someone in the act with video evidence(there are plenty of discrete ways to accomplish this) then thst should suffice. The apprehender then should get a significant percentage of any fine issued.

    At the very least, its a novel suggestion.

    I don't want to live in a world where people are wandering around a park recording other people hoping for a payday.

    Meh,

    Camerphones are constantly out recording in beaches and parks.

    If they were catching people dumping and leaving rubbish then that can only be a good thing.

    Don’t be dumping your litter and you won’t have anything to worry about.

    To many people living here have no respect for our stunning country .
    These people will never change ....
    The only thing they understand is fines .
    That would mean providing proper security at these parks / beaches ...that costs money .
    The councils are also to blame ... Not providing enough bins at these places .
    In a lot of cases these bins are to small and remain full over a weekend before been emptied on a Monday .

    Yup! Pat is a lazy slovenly scrote in general...have a look around any beach in this weather if you need confirmation.

    Pat also thinks he should be able to park where he likes with no consideration for others.

    That is why he constantly moans to liveline about clampers ....

    Don't park illegally and you wont get clamped. We really need 10 times more clampers anyway. Outside my house now there are 7 illegally parked cars, blocking the place up, they'll be there all day. I tell the council over and over but they don't want to know.

    I have a limited number of "secret" areas near me that I go to for a walk. No crowds, by the river, great views, very nice. Never see an ounce of litter there and there are no bins either. We and others must bring it home so. Not everyone is a muck savage.

    Anyway TBH even without lockdown I don't go near beaches or hotspots like Glendalough etc. during the School holidays. Not worth it anymore. I can do it in September when things have quietened down a bit.

    But it is awful. We were told as kids to put sweet wrappers etc. in our pockets and NEVER throw litter away. I just don't know why people drop litter like this. Surely they must hate their environment or have no respect. It is just so bad for those of us who enjoy nature. Anyway I don't know what the solution is either, sorry.

    I don't dump litter,I was brought up better than that. I still don't want a camera phone pointed at me, my wife and 7 year old while we're sitting in a park having a picnic because somebody thinks they might get a payday out of recording us. If you don't understand why then I'm not going to explain it to you.

    Nobody (that’s not a psychopath) is going to record you eating a picnic, you’re most likely not that interesting. I’ve no problem with someone firing up the camera if people are leaving their rubbish bags behind though.

    I'm just suggesting that Dublin City Council might provide some other service such as emptying the bins or providing litter wardens rather than focus on his (and yours apparently) war on cars. Thats all; no biggie . You can still cycle everywhere

    I wholly agree with the content of your post but can’t get over my irritation at your use of “thrash” instead of “trash” in the title. Why can’t Irish people differentiate between the two? Also the use of an Americanism like trash in the first place bothers me separately.

    Yes, I’m irritable in general.

    It's the verb thrash meaning to whip/belt/assault...

    I've yet to see a squirrel or rabbit fücking its half eaten packet of Doritos out the window of a car.

    In fairness what you haven't seen could probably fill the universe.

    Never seen a rabbit or squirrel fücking anything other than a rabbit or a squirrel.

    And in fact I've never seen a human fücking a bag of doritos, half full or otherwise.

    That is incredible.


    Why would a person leave rubbish like that instead of taking it with them?

    Or if some of the many Green party TD and Councilors in Dublin and their supporters went out and helped to clear the beaches. Walking the walk, rather than simply talking the talk.

    But I suppose it's far "sexier" to block bridges rather than to do something useful.

    Sickening aspect of our society.

    When going to a beach the only thing you should leave behind are your footprints and what’s this we, not everyone does that , are you including yourself as a rubbish tipster?

    Big dumpsters on the beach will only encourage people to dump their household rubbish. Sad but true.

    Bring it home, but many don't care. Filthy idiots with no respect for places they visit. I doubt they would dump their rubbish on their own road.

    Eh no - I seriously doubt it's the same group of teenagers.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Yeah, read the original message I was replying where the poster mentions discreet ways of videoing people. Sounds normal alright.
