Barnageeragh beach has been stinking for the past few weeks. What direction was the wind today?

Was it at the Chinese restaurant, down the lane towards the beach?

They pulled the greasetrap out a few months ago and left the door open the smell was just incredible. It carried the whole way up the town.

cathy01

No, the ground was covered in something wet and gooie.Yackkk
Im not sure why .It started around the FLC chipper, and ran down the road,towards the central??

That is the roughly the same place where I got the smell too Cathy, at first I thought had I stepped in some dog dirt but checked my shoes and nothing.

No sign of the smell this morning,

cathy01

Glad to hear it is gone.Thanks,cathy

Yesterday beside Bennys/FLC takeaway there was a truck pumping out the drains. I seen this the other day aswell. Maybe that had something to do with the smell

cathy01

Warm weather may be causing algae/seaweed to decay on the beaches. Booterstown was particularly aromatic a few weeks ago.

cathy01

No , i think it was something to do with a drain.I get used to the smell of the sea and seaweed.thanks for replying,cathy

That smell is there pretty much all year round at Barnegeera as you go around the bend. I think there is sewage works or something like that. Although, when the weather is nice it gets a lot stronger

cathy01

oh there, yes.My 7 year old calls it the Farting sea!!!!
Really bad smell.

They spent 9 million on that house too, think they could afford to get someone to get rid of the smell too

cathy01

9 MILLION.:eek: Really

dubmick

who is "they" ? The house looks out of this world.

NorthDub

wow spending 9 million on a house, I can see it from the train and it does look fab though

Nodster

Nearly sure that the site with the former house on it sold for well in excess of €2m in 2007 - lovely design, I'm envious of whoever lives there and fair play to them

The Hill Billy

Back on topic please. Thanks.
