An Offaly Councillor calling on the local authority to put a by-law in place to prevent this from happening.
People in a midlands town are being conned by "professional beggars."
That's according to Tullamore Councillor Tony McCormack, who says he's witnessed a group of men begging for money, and then "driving away in a Mercedes."
He's calling on the local authority to put a by-law in place to prevent this from happening.
The Fianna Fáil rep believes they are preying on the most vulnerable members of society:
