Thank you Eamonn and friends for highlighting the plight of the puffins and, indeed , other endangered species. Keep up the very important work.

Our beach and sea are in the state they are in now due to reckless lack of forward planning of infrastructure by Fingal Co Co. the treatment plant is not fit for purpose and with the granting of permission for even more houses in the Balbriggan area this is only going to get worse. Raw sewage is pumped into the sea at two locations of the Balbriggan coastline and will only get worse as more and more houses are occupied. The Naul has raw sewage going directly into the river Delvin and despite repeated calls for a treatment plant so far there is no plan in place for it. Anursing ho,e will soon be completed putting even more sewage into the river which then enters the sea at Gormanston, a handly let out for Fingal Council as is it now the problem of another council. Our beach is being overrun by lyme grass and again the council refuse to do anything about it telling us it is natural, so in my mothers living memory and she is 94 , there has never been grass on the flat sandy areas of the beach ever, it has attracted rats and holda litter not to mention when there is a high tide the floating detritus of that sewage. Just on the other side of the arches they plan on putting down a concrete plaza of some sort to accomadate 'events' takaing away parking that is used weekdays for train users and weekends for beach walkers. There is no sense of the joining up of anything associated with the councils plans and a lip service to the environment and bio diversity when it suits their purpose. Have been to Rathlin to see the Puffins amazing birds.
