Dublin and Fingal county councils received complaints, ranging from strewn rubbish to dead birds, across their areas, from Fairview Park to DonnybrookSeagulls eating ducklings, swooping on a bakery and destroying tiles on a roof were among 346 complaints received by two Dublin county councils since January 2023.
DCC received almost 250 complaints and requests about cleaning up rubbish scattered across the street after rubbish bags were opened by seagulls.Can we finally say goodbye to shaming women for letting their hair go grey?“I was absolutely shocked and disgusted to see the litter all over the streets. The smell of waste was revolting,” one concerned local told the council last year.“Five days now, rats at night, loud seagulls at dawn. The longer it is, more bags are getting added.
One resident complained about seagulls scratching their car. Another claimed seagulls had destroyed the tiles on their roof leading to leaks in their home. Complaints to FCC on Dublin’s northside included calls for the eggs of seagulls and seagulls to be culled. “Continuing to rely on simple bin bags for domestic waste, in a city with a substantial seagull population, is just ridiculous,” one complainant told DCC.
