The National Trust has described the students of St Colman’s Community College, Midleton, as “wonderful ambassadors” and hope that their efforts will inspire more schools to clean their local coasts.

The rubbish was gathered during two full days of beach cleaning with the school in May and September. The 12-tonne take excludes additional beach cleans with the local group Clean Coasts Ballynamona, on which some students also took part.
