Laws enforced unequally in Co Louth

Recent news reports about a woman in Co Louth fined 1,000 euro for throwing a cigarette from her car are not unusual. This is the litter warden doing his/her job. However, the same wardens are failing and refusing to enforce the litter Act regading blatant littering by travellers from various encampments on the roadside. The littering in such cases is extreme and a definate health hazard. The litter wardens here were told about these offences, individuals were identified to them, but they didn't go near them. They were afraid to. Neither would the Post Office official check to see if they had tv licences in their dwellings. They were afraid to go near them.

WHY IS THAT THIS STATE TARGETS DECENT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME WHILE OTHER UNTOUCHABLES CAN GET AWAY WITH WHATEVER THEY LIKE???
