Along the banks of the Royal Canal

Members of the local Green Party demonstrated their commitment to the local environment recently when they organised a cleanup of the local banks of the Royal Canal.

According to local party activist and former election candidate, Roderic O’Gorman “we worked along the canal bank between Castleknock Train Station and the 12th Lock and then some of the way towards Coolmine.”

Party members were encouraged by the fact that litter levels were significantly down on last year.

However the green litter collectors still managed to fill 10 refuse sacks with glass bottles, cans, plastic cartons and general waste.

There were one or two significant litter black spots along the canal. “There is an area off the bridge over the canal at Castleknock Station just beside the canal which is regularly used as a drinking haunt where we found hundreds of bottles and cans.

I’ll be contacting Fingal County Council to advise them of ways to block up this particular location,” said Roderic.
