Do you feel safe sea swimming after a sewage leak?
At the moment tests are only done during the bathing season.I asked the Council to review their policy and test sea water after a sewage overflow.
If the Council hasn't the resources, maybe citizen scientists need to step in? 🤔

Netanyahu announced full occupation of Gaza — while people starve, are displaced and killed.
This is genocide.
EU must act now:
- Impose a full arms embargo
- Suspend the EU-Israel Agreement
- Move to recognise Palestine
Stop the war. Ceasefire and humanitarian aid — now!

Speaking to Newstalk this week about the chaos at our beaches when the sun shines. It's the same year in year out and yet the NTA don't take any action.
An easy, quick solution would be shuttle buses from towns to the beaches, making the journey a lot more pleasant.

We all saw the overflowing bins at the weekend....not pleasant!
The good news is that I have secured extra bins for key locations over the rest of the summer. So hopefully this will help
Big thanks due to the Council who had this cleared quickly this morning.
