Joe O'Reilly (FG), Labour Panel

It is an absolutely beautiful place. It is shocking that the beach does not have this status and I do not see the logic that it is due to a lack of recycling facilities in the area. It escapes me why they could not have the blue flag up and the beach open. I strongly support Senator Lombard in that matter, and indeed the Cathaoirleach's own intervention. An Taisce cannot be so arbitrary. People have a right to their beaches. It is a beautiful tourist area and there is a strong case here. I think it is the Garretstown beach if I am pronouncing it correctly.
