Independent Councillor Terry O’ Flaherty is calling on the City Council to remove the seaweed on Ballyloughane beach.

Seaweed, now celebrated as a super plant, has evolved in this country from being associated with poverty and as a famine food to becoming a prized Irish natural resource because of its remarkable benefits.
