Speaking to Newry Times, she said, “This is in total disregard to the residents who live here and is a disgusting act.

“There are places where these tyres can be disposed of legally and in accordance with environmental practice.”

Oonagh continued, “After being dumped a few tyres have been set alight, thankfully not taking hold as they are dumped very near houses.

“I have contacted the Council and asked them to remove this eyesore as a matter of urgency.”
