Well done to the Clonleame and Ballyhealy Residents Group who got out on Saturday 20th March to clear local ditches of domestic and commercial rubbish.
Illegal dumping is an issue that has blighted communities across the country, and many have reported a sharp increase since the start of the pandemic. Unfortunately, it is often left to the residents to clear up the mess.
The residents have also expressed their gratitude to Johnny Guirke TD, who rolled up his sleeves and helped with the clean-up.
