BBC News - Buncrana mayor criticises 'irresponsible' beach-goers 15 July 2013 Last updated at 12:32 The mayor of Buncrana in County Donegal has said something must be done to stop "irresponsible" people littering the town's beaches at the weekend. Peter McLaughlin said broken bottles and other debris was left strewn over Lisfannon and Buncrana beaches. As soon as the sun shines people come out enjoy the beach, but they forget to take their rubbish with them. "If they were watching TV in their homes they wouldn't throw rubbish over the side of their settee," he said. Broken bottles are the big danger because they're partially buried in the sand, leaving a high risk for injuries. I'd like people to think about what they're doing. Use the beach but don't abuse the beach. "People should treat it like its their own," he said.
