Aggressive begging in Dundalk is an issue that needs to be looked at, according to independent councillor Maeve Yore.
At March’s meeting of Dundalk JPC she stated:
“I’m reliably informed that some are arriving from Newry in carloads.
“This needs action.
“We did a successful campaign a few years ago in relation to begging and I want to know what we need to do now?”
Superintendent Charlie Armstrong stated that he was aware of the issue and it was brought up to him a number of weeks ago, he further stated that he had allocated the community policing officers to have a look at it and that he would come back with feedback on the issue.
