Plea for help to tackle beach litter

A coastal community has pleaded for help to tackle beach litter after their beach was destroyed with rubbish over the weekend heatwave.

The Myrtleville Coastal Action Group in Cork spoke out last night after volunteers collected almost 40 bags of rubbish from Myrtleville beach.

They called for increased support from the local authority and for a stronger Garda presence to tackle teenage drinking on the beach.
