Clean Coasts group collect 200 tyres in 10 months

An environmental group says it has collected almost 200 tyres from a 1.2km stretch of coastline in the last 10 months.

The award-winning Clean Coasts Ballynamona group in East Cork, which organises regular volunteer beach cleans along a 40km coastal stretch, says it cannot say for certain how the tyres ended up on just a handful of beaches in their area.
