Problem with horses and scrap cars

joe stodge

I live beside a halting site, I'm here the last 7 years.
I've never had any problems until recently. The residents there are keeping 6 horses in a walled Tarmac car park beside the site, they are feeding the horses and watering them but the problem is the smell. The waste from the horses has no where to go as it's not being cleaned and just left and after 2-3 months the stink is overpowering. Not only that but in the last week the they have also decided to collect scrap cars and pile them in a makeshift wall on the green area infront of the site. the wall is 2-3 cars high, right beside the foot path along the main road. it's soon to be a huge environmental issue as there cars are more or less complete, bar a few doors or bonnets. I'd assume they are still full of engine fluids and what not. Also there's the health and safety with all the bits of jagged metal and smashed glass on these cars.
I have contacted dublin City council and the dspca and local politicians regarding the horses only to be met with deaf ears, no one wants to touch this issue with a barge pole.
The same about the scraped cars D.C.C, the Gardai and local politicians aren't too pushed either.
Has anyone got any idea on any further corses of action?

It's their "culture"

You seem to already have taken the correct steps and contacted everyone who you should have contacted. There's very little else anyone in After Hours can help with.
