The incident is thought to have occurred between 6 and 8pm on Monday evening

A mattress, fridge, hoover, kitchen units and a child's buggy were found dumped in Robertstown yesterday evening.

A local farmer noticed the items near his land on Robertstown Hill, heading towards Robertstown West, between 6 and 8pm last night.

It follows the discovery of 55 bags of rubbish found dumped in Naas a few weeks ago.

Kildare County Council staff will now have to travel to Robertstown to conduct a clean up.

Local Cllr. Daragh Fitzpatrick has condemned the dumping, labelling it as disgraceful.
