Took a short walk down by Riverside overlooking the Corrib (adjacent the cathedral if you will) and was shocked and angered to see the whole river path covered in rubbish and empty drink and food containers. It was absolutely disgusting. :mad: I'm going to hazard a guess that the fine weather last weekend attracted a crowd to hang out there. I would have thought though that the local residents would have called the gardai if they saw a big gathering there as I'd presume they would have made a fair racket as well. (I'm not here to wag fingers about Covid related rules etc. just raising awareness about the littering) What's more infuriating is you can probably take it that a fair amount of rubbish ended up in the river as well given it was literally all over the footpath and I think the sole bin I noticed there was overflowing. A friend who lives in Renmore told me Ballyloughane was in an awful state after the weekend aswell. To cap it off, on my drive home I saw a huge bag of mcdonalds wrappers had been tossed out of a car window by some assholes. What the f*ck is wrong with people nowadays. Sickening behaviour.

You'll also these people use every excuse under the sun to blame someone else or another entity if they are challenged on their behaviour. The same happening every when it comes to dog fouling and a few other things you see going on. Just a real 'me fein' vibe and thinking nothing about others or their environment.

The local school car park is also full of it and I filled a black bin bag with that kind of rubbish at our local woods recently. I’m assuming it’s boy racers that are responsible.

Milly33 wrote: » Yeah, but it does seem to be very bad up here. Even where there are bins provided people just dont seem to care. In town one night (in the good auld days) after the kids came out of the puds they just started kicking in the bin bags left out rubbish everywhere. Can say i never really came across that before.. There just seems to be a flow of rubbish everywhere, even in our own park im amazed at how people do not pick up their own rubbish on windy bin nights or just in general
