These bastards just pushed the big rocks out of the way with their cars and put their two caravans and whatever garbage that comes with it onto the grass. The Gards had a talk with them (five or six Gards) but drove off after a while. There goes the neighbourhood.

Oh here we go again.Maybe you should go out with a camera to galway over the weekend and take pictures of all the civilised settled people dumping rubbish all over Eyre Square and the Spanish Arch.Their excuse????? Not enough bins,well take the piece of rubbish home with you.
john_dub wrote: Few questions there on your watertight point man 1. Do the people youre talking about set up tent and then stay in that one spot persistently dropping rubbish in that one area for weeks, months?? 2. If you are talking about civilised settled people as you call them would you not agree that there is a good chance them same people pay a thing called TAXES which funnily enough are partly used to employ people whose job it is to pick up rubbish?? or am i just totally wrong on that notion? 3. most people dont do this anymore anyway, i dont, i dont know people who do so ill just have to take your word on it. do you do it? i have never never seen a settled person pour the contents of a bin onto the ground in a built up area, i think what your talking about is the odd sweet wrapper or drinks can, totally irrelevant to the original point of travellers dumping.
Point 1.No to be honest i havent viewed anyone setting up camp in either areas i mentioned but the droping of rubbish was consitent throughout the weekend with the good weather.In fact eyre square is on the front of a local paper today because of how dirty it was. Point 2.See its this attitude that lets people think its OK to drop rubbish.I pay TAXES,sher if there wasnt rubbish there would be no jobs for the people to clean it up.Thats a pretty poor point. Point 3. Nope i dont drop rubbish.Im very concious of it.Im sure there are plenty of times i done it throughout my life but i certainly dont do it now. Theres a park i walk my dog everyday with a wodded area and many mornings ive had to go across the road to the council to tell them there are a load of black sacks dumped inside the wall.Pretty sad.The difference is travellers will do it in front of ya and not give a monkeys but the aledged settled people do it at night when no ones looking.Either way in each of my points im not tallking about the odd sweet wrapper,ciggarette butt etc( these all add up).

How many people pass through Eyre square of a day? In the travellers areas there are a small group of people consistently damaging the environment around them. Thats not my point about taxes at all, you added quite a bit on there. iam stating the fact that people exist who clean up litter, they are paid for by taxes,do you disagree? you then decided i believe that if there was no rubbish then they wouldnt have jobs? Who are the people who drop litter? Tourists, the kind of people who steal hubcabs? You started talking about Eyre square not parks, im sure loads of rubbish gets dumped in parks, maybe its travellers?
