Community activist, Liam Finnegan, has branded the act as a disgrace and says it undoes all of the work of the tidy towns

"Baths, mattresses, and all kinds of household stuff. It's just mindblowing the kind of people we have who come to our area and they're coming from outside the parish. We know that for a fact. We have some tracking on them and I've just notified Garry Brady in Longford County Council and sent the photographs. They're pretty shocking".
