Clare County Council has been asked to seek reform of the litter laws to deal with local residents who aren’t disposing of their household waste appropriately.

Ennistymon Councillor Joe Arkins says Irish laws deal with litter in a public place only – meaning dumping in back gardens is going un-noticed despite the risk of rodent or fly infestation and the public health hazard for neighbouring homes.
