More than 45 tonnes of waste has been taken away from a scenic site in Donegal.

The clean-up took place at Brinaleck in Gaoth Dobhair last week.

It follows an intensive operation by Donegal County Council and local development group Coiste Forbartha Chnoc Fola.

The site has now been landscaped and boulders have been put up to stop flytipping in the future.

Michael McGarvey, director of service with Donegal County Council, said: "Anti-dumping signage has been erected and CCTV signage will be erected in the coming days.

"This site will be monitored on an ongoing basis and anyone caught dumping rubbish here will be pursued by the Council".
