Caherconlish Tidy Towns: Following on from the piece last week on dumping of rubbish in the area several residents have asked to highlight the problem of dog fouling on footpaths, gateways and walkways. Under the Litter Pollution Act it is an offence to let your dog foul in a public place and fail to remove and dispose of the foul properly. An on-the-spot fine of €150 can be imposed on the owner of a dog who fails to remove dog faeces from a public place. From a health point of view failure to clean up after your dog can result in humans, particularly children, becoming infected by a dog parasite called Toxocara canis. A huge thank you to all the concerned residents who have taken it on themselves to clean up the rubbish in their areas. It is very much appreciated.
Caherconlish National School: The 50 50 draw is going to be postponed for the moment until a time that it is safe to go back to school. We also have postponed our online payments for the moment until we are up and running again. Thanks for all your support, please stay safe at home.
