Late night motor gatherings disturb residents

LATE night gatherings of motorists at a location along the ring road in Castlebar is causing a disturbance for local residents.

They gather on an infrequent basis, arriving at 1 or 2 a.m., at a site between Corrib Oil and Aglish estate and Councillor Al McDonnell, who raised the issue, wants it investigated.

They are, he said, a source of disturbance to residents who have contacted him about the matter. They have no respect for the people who are sleeping.

Speaking at the May monthly Castlebar Municipal District meeting, he said it was necessary to bring it to the attention of the meeting and the gardaí.

Councillor Ger Deere said he was also contacted about it, saying gardaí have a role to play.
