Syringes dumped on Fonthill Road

THE dumping of over 50 used syringes on the Fonthill Road in Clondalkin has been described as

“shameful

?.

Sinn Fein activist Eoin Ã? Broin said a local resident discovered the syringes at the entrance to the Grand Canal walkway, just off the Fonthill Road, on the morning of Sunday, November 11.

Mr Ã? Broin said he removed the syringes and brought them to Clondalkin Garda station.

“The dumping of such a large amount of used syringes in a public place is shameful,

? he said.

“They were dumped just at the pedestrian entrance to the canal walkway on the Fonthill Road.

“They could have been found by children who, unaware of the potential danger, could have been seriously harmed.

“Fortunately a local resident came across the syringes and phoned Sinn Féin. We removed the syringes and disposed of them at Clondalkin Garda station.

?

He added:

“That someone would behave in such a way is beyond contempt. A child could have found the needles and ended up in hospital.

“While any form of illegal dumping is unacceptable, to dump used syringes in this way is reckless. Hopefully this is a one off incident.
