Council Embarrassment Once Again
Ealier this year Louth County Council were red faced with embarrassment after having pursued a litter prosecution against a lady who was ten years deceased.
At that time they vowed to revue their procedure for issuing summones, which involved only the issuing of a registered letter to the target, and if there was no response, they proceeded with the summons in court.
The procedure revue apparently did not take place since they recently secured a €1,000 litter fine in the local court.........against a six year old girl.
The name of the six year old had been found on a medical prescription found dumped in some household waste.
Last week, a local solicitor instructed by the Council, successfully applied to the Dundalk District Court to have the conviction quashed.
