At Nenagh District Court on May 8, Tipperary County Council was successful in prosecuting a Littering Offence that had occurred in Roscrea.
Two black bags were discovered outside of St. Vincent De Paul Charity Shop, Church Street, Roscrea and Tipperary County Council.
A litter fine was issued to the offender but remained unpaid.

The defendant failed to engage with Tipperary County Council so the case proceeded to Court.
Following the testimony provided by the Environment Enforcement Officer, Judge Brennan was satisfied to convict the Defendant.
A fine of €500 was issued by the Court on the private individual. Costs of €400 were also awarded to Tipperary County Council.
Therefore, the total financial penalty to this private individual is €900.
Tipperary County Council is satisfied with the outcome of this case and will continue to bring such matters to Court as appropriate.
It is worth noting that the financial penalty awarded against this private individual far exceeds what the cost of an annual Bin Collection Service would be.
