Call for action on spreading of porridge along city streets encouraging seagulls and pigeons

Galway City Council is being urged to take action on the spreading of porridge on various streets of the city - that's feeding and encouraging seagulls, pigeons and rodents. 

At a recent meeting, Councillor Níall McNelis was backed by his fellow councillors when he proposed firm action is taken to put an end to the long-running practice.   

The Labour Councillor suggested that should involve working alongside business groups, Gardaí and other relevant agencies. 

Councillor McNelis says he accepts it might not be the biggest issue facing the city - but it is creating problems.
