Galway Bay fm newsroom - A City Councillor is calling for illegal dumpers to be hit with heavier penalties following an increase in illegal dumping in Castlegar.
Councillor Alan Cheevers says it's a city wide issue that appears to be getting steadily worse rather than improving.
He says questions need to be asked as to why this is - and what can be now done to stop it.
Fianna Fail Councillor Cheevers says residents in Castlegar are raising concerns that there's been a sharp rise in illegal dumping in the area.
Councillor Cheevers says unless the culprits are prosecuted and hit with heavy fines the problem will continue.
