Last week-end proved yet again that Ireland can do events extremely well. The Volvo Ocean Race, the Flora Women's Mini-Marathon and Bloom 2009 were a wonderful success. These events demonstrate what can be achieved in regions where people come together and co-operate for mutual benefit. Of course, the fantastic weather was an added bonus. Speaking of which, thousands flocked to the beaches to soak up the sunshine. However, at a number of beaches, I was shocked to see many litter bins over-flowing with rubbish. Is it not too much to ask that
A) local county councils roster additional staff to empty bins on bank-holiday week-ends?
B) visitors be encouraged to take their litter home?
