Unsightly seaweed on blue-flag beach in Kerry

Large quantities of seaweed are marring the popular Ballyheigue blue flag beach in north Kerry.

The county council is promising to intervene if the high tides do not take the seaweed back out.

The owner of a local seaweed business says what’s coming onto the shore in Ballyheigue is the “wrong” type of seaweed — he cuts his from the rocks at high tide, but this is “dead seaweed”.
