“Broken glass is not just litter, it’s a real danger, especially for children and anyone walking barefoot and dogs. It only takes a second for someone to be seriously injured.

“We all have a responsibility to respect these shared spaces. Please take your rubbish home and think of others using the beach. Thank you again to all the volunteers who give their time to keep Buncrana looking its best.”
