Plague of rats threatened status of Blue Flag beach, says An Taisce
An Taisce, which administers the Blue Flag environmental award scheme, revealed yesterday that it had told Cork County Council to clean up its act at Youghal Strand following complaints about rats. An Taisce spokeswoman, Aisling Keane, said the problem was identified two weeks ago following complaints from the public.
Rats had infested a storm drain and the county council brought in specialists to dispose of them.
