Parent Support

Dear Chairperson,

> 

> I am writing to you on behalf of the Bull Island Action Group.

> 

> All of us who live in this part of Dublin are well aware that we have

> the wonderful amenities of North Bull Island and Dollymount Strand on

> our doorstep.

> 

> However, parts of the island and the beach can become very heavily

> littered. Some litter is discarded inconsiderately, but a great deal

> more is wind-blown or carried onto the beach by the tide twice a day.

> The most effective way to deal with this problem is to collect and

> remove the accumulated litter on a regular basis.

> 

> Active now for several years, our group organises a beach clean-up on

> the third Saturday of every month. We start at 11.00am and we work for

> two hours. We provide litter pickers, gloves and rubbish bags. Dublin

> City Council provides a tractor and trailer to haul away the material

> we collect.

> 

> As this is New Year's Resolution time, may I appeal to your Parents'

> Association to bring our request for additional volunteers to the

> attention of your school community. They will all get some fresh air

> and a bit of exercise as well as giving us some much needed help!

> 

> The dates for our forthcoming activities are 21st January, 18th

> February, 17th March, 21st April, 19th May and 16th June. Our meeting

> point is the beach entrance just past Royal Dublin Golf Club.
