There was great community spirit in the clean-up of Blackrock pier last Sunday morning. Kieran McCarthy, local independent candidate, led an enthusiastic group of participants from Blackrock and Ballintemple to clean and clear the rubbish. In total 30 bags were filled.

Kieran McCarthy stated that; “Blackrock village has such potential to be a vibrant economic amenity for the local residents and the city. Much has been achieved in the area but much more can be done. The clean-up initiative is about encouraging community participation and making a difference in a real way to our environment.”
