Broken glass proving the scourge of Cork's beaches

National Clean Coasts awareness initiative this weekend seeks to highlight the injury dangers 

Broken bottles and glass are a menace on beaches in East Cork, according to Clean Coasts Ballynamona.

Broken glass on some of Cork’s beaches is a scourge of “wanton destruction that is so needless”, a leading environmental and biodiversity campaigner has said.

Proinsias Ó Tuama on Clean Coasts Ballynamona said the group is continually finding shards of glass from beer bottles and the like along much-loved beaches in Ballynamona, Ardnahinch, Youghal, Corkbeg, and White Bay.
