The matter was brought to the fore at this week's meeting of Cavan County Council.

According to Cllr Fitzpatrick, students who are "out and about" every day in Cootehill are facing major difficulties in relation to dog fouling.

'Cllr Fitzpatrick outlined his concerns in relation to the high number of underage alcohol use'

If there was public consultation and a promise of services in the town at least people would know, and it might be a help.

'The meeting heard that a national survey around defibrillators was currently taking place'

'They just walked up through everybody and they didn't care what I thought of them or anyone else for that matter'

'There is no help for people and something has to change'.
