THE CHAIRMAN of the Joint Policing Committee in Ennis yesterday proposed the appointment of two “urine wardens” to tackle the problem of public urination in the town at weekends.

The proposal by Cllr Paul O’Shea (Lab) is one of a number sparked off by Ennis businessman John O’Connor, who installed an “electric fence” for revellers who urinate on his shopfront at weekends.
