The scenic area of Gartan was impacted by an act of illegal dumping over the weekend, sparking strong condemnation.
The incident was reported after cans, bottles and food waste were pictured thrown across the lakeside.
Cllr Donal ‘Mandy’ Kelly who followed up on reports from social media, has thanked Donegal County council staff for their swift response in clearing the rubbish this morning.
“There is a fantastic community in Churchill and surrounding areas that do fantastic work in keeping these areas in tip top shape without things like this happening in the area,” Cllr Kelly said.
“I’d ask whoever was responsible to please rethink their actions in future on behalf of all residents and visitors please thanks.”
