Travellers on the Curragh

Pauly

There are a number of Traveller families camped on the Curragh, Kildare end, and I notice a lot of dumping going on close by. I was walking the dog yesterday and two travellers dumped a truckload of old fridges into the furze in front of me. The truck got stuck and I was able to get a few photos before they extracted themselves. I don't think they saw me (lucky for me!). I couldn't believe what was going on. The place is filthy now, and the dumping is getting worse by the day. Has anyone else noticed? The Gardaí said they couldn't do much about it because they were from across the border and they were unable to check their vehicles. Who can I call to report this dumping?

Kildare County Council might be worth a try.

I just sent you a PM Pauly. I'm one of the local councillors you can send what you've got to me.

plus one there mate.

If these folk want to fit in , which their campaigners suggest they do , then they really should consider policing there own communities.

last year all my friends Snap-on tools where found in one of their sites. 10k worth of tools. Not to mention a few loads of other tradesmens tools. Scum bags is the only word i can think of in there description.

Remember the mess they left behind in Leixlip a few years ago, and then the Naas rd.

What are they thinking when they do that??

The very same thing happened last year. Once they had left it took 2 lorryloads and a digger to take away all the dumped rubbish.

Prevention is surely better than cure and these people should not be allowed to be there at all - nobody should have the right to camp there, be they traveller, settled, Irish, Greek, Chinese whoever.

It seems to me that those in authority aren't interested as they just pass it on to someone else. Gardai, council, environmental agency, department of defence etc.

Fair play Aodh Rua for looking into it.

Same thing happens this time every year, just before the derby festival.
I always wondered if they timed it in the hope of getting a pay off from the racecourse to leave before their biggest meeting of the year?

They have left some mess behind down near the Rathangan/Milltown/Kildare junction on the Curragh a few times this year and i have seen the tractors in to clean it up after .

Seems they have taking a liken to the other side of the train tracks in the last week or so.


Amazed the way they treat the place and get away with it,but mind you i see some litterers on my back roads throwing out their fastfood rubbish and the likes ,i swear someday i will get one of them convicted,PURE SCUM.
