A Cork mother has pleaded with people to bring their rubbish with them when they leave the beach after her daughter sliced her leg open on a disposable barbecue someone left behind.

With sunny weather expected over the bank holiday and people flocking to the coasts, Cork woman, April, wanted to share her family's terrifying experience and remind beach users not to discard dangerous items which can cause injury.
