A county councillor has hit out at contractors who are dumping disused tar around the county.
Councillor Micheal Mac Giolla Easbuig pointed to the Back of Errigal road where tar has been left to rot after it was dumped.
The Independent councillor said there are similar cases of illegal dumping across the county.
He recently raised the issue at council level.
He appealed to anybody who knows anything about tar being dumped illegally to contact the council and alert them to the location.
“We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world and this is happening on a regular basis.
“It is not good enough and we need it to stop. I would appeal to anybody who is doing it to stop and think of our beautiful countryside and heritage,” he said.
He appealed to the council to remove the tar that has been dumped on the Errigal Road.
“I asked the council to remove this but unfortunately all they have done is break it up and leave it on the side of the road.
“This isn’t good enough and I would appeal to them to clean it up,” he said.
