Cllr Tomás Sharkey
Sinn Féin councillor Tomás Sharkey has called on Louth County Council to remove rotting seaweed from Blackrock beach.
The area has been attracting hundreds of people in recent weeks due to the ongoing good weather. However, the attractiveness of the area is being affected and Cllr Sharkey feels the local authority needs to take action.
He told LMFM that every few years there is a build up of seaweed on the beach, which starts to rot before the next strong tide carries it away.
He said the smell from the seaweed is very strong and takes away from the amenity of the area.
