We noticed this post on Facebook recently. We’ve left out the name of the person who posted it but the content is nonetheless worrying.
It is reported that toilets in the Louth County Library in Roden Place now have to be locked because of the number of used needles that were left there. Anyone who wants to use the facilities now have to ask staff supposedly.
I suppose it’s a small measure to avoid something more serious happening but it’s just a pity that things had to come to this.
