Catching litter offenders

Tipperary Co Council has been asked to inform the public about proseucting litter offenders following a recent fly-tipping incident in Silvermines.

Cllr JP O'Meara told the February meeting of Nenagh Municipal District that photographs of the rubbish were displayed on social media. A letter with an address was shared among the photos, and this may have compromised the investigation.

Cllr O'Meara wanted the council to inform the public about prosecution procedure. Information should be provided about whom to contact and how to protect evidence in order to safeguard prosecution, he said.
