SHOCKING: Large amount of domestic waste dumped at beauty spot in Offaly

A large amount of domestic waste dumped at beauty spot in Offaly.

Glendine Gap / Fanning Pass is located on the Laois / Offaly border in the Slieve Bloom Mountains, at a height of 1500 feet.

Because of its beauty it's popular with car and walking tourists. However, it's also been the scene of a number of illegal dumping incidents over the last few years.

The picture, taken this week, shows the latest incident. An extensive amount of domestic waste is strewn across the hillside, including a lot of large black refuse sacks.
