Dumpers blamed over midland bog fire.
Milleán ar lucht dumpála faoin tine ar phortach i lár tíre.
Littering on a bog in County Roscommon is being blamed for the fire that broke out there last night.
Tá an milleán á chur ar an gcaitheamh amach brúscair atá déanta ar phortach i gContaeRos Comáin faoin tine a tharla ansin tráthnóna aréir.
The fire caused extensive damage to land and habitats adjacent to Strokestown.
Rinne an tine cuid mhór damáiste do thalamh agus gnáthóga lámh le Béal na mBuillí.
Units of the fire brigade were called out shortly before 6pm to the bog stretch adjacent to the N5 highway.
Glaodh amach ar aonaid den bhriogáid dóiteáin go gairid roimh a 6 a’chlog chuig an stráice portaigh lámh le mórbhealach an N5.
It took over 6 hours for the fire services to contain the fire.
Breis agus 6 uair a’chloig a thóg sé ar na seirbhísí dóiteáin an tine a cheansú.
‘Meeting litter in the stretch where the fire started’ says Eugene Murphy The local community is now asking Roscommon County Council and the gardaí to investigate the cause of this fire.
‘Brúscair cruinnithe sa stráice inar thosaigh an tine’ a dúirt Eugene Murphy Tá pobal na háite ag iarraidh anois ar Chomhairle Contae Ros Comáin agus ar na gardaí fáth na tine seo a fhiosrú.
Senator Eugene Murphy said the accumulation of rubbish was clearly the cause of the mountain burning, as the weather had been quite wet for some time.
Dúirt an Seanadóir Eugene Murphy gur léir go raibh an lear brúscair cruinnithe le chéile ina chionsiocair leis an loscadh sléibhe, mar go raibh an aimsir fliuch go maith le tamall.
He has now called for a private security company to install cameras in this bog area.
D’iarr sé anois go gcuirfeadh comhlacht príobháideach slándála ceamaraí i bhfearas sa gceantar portaigh seo.
‘The public is very angry about this,’ he said.
‘Tá fearg mhór sa phobal faoi seo’ a dúirt sé.
