“Our walk up through Kirkstown forest this morning was blighted by the inconsiderate people who dump rubbish illegally, especially at our areas of outstanding beauty,” he posted. “What possesses them to think this is ok?
“I mean, all of the stuff I saw dumped this morning is recyclable. It would have been easier to take this rubbish to our recycling centre than dump it at this beauty spot. Shame on you.”
