Investigation launched after Dublin man keeps getting blue balls at the beach

    North Dublin resident Brian Bolger says he has collected large amounts of the balls from Dollymount Strand on Bull Island over the years but has noticed more of them appearing in recent times. He has raised the issue with Dublin City Council and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

    “We go walking regularly on Dollymount. Every so often we do a little [rubbish] pick up and we were noticing these balls,” he said.

    “At first they were all blue [they later discovered orange versions] and we thought they were golf ball innards because there are two courses on the island.”

    Whether or not they pose any threat, or are biodegradable, the balls have arrived on an extremely sensitive part of Ireland.

    Has anyone seen this man's balls? He took a photo of them at the beach - they're small and blue so he's concerned about the local birds.

    There's obviously been some kind of balls up here. The EPA need to grow a pair and get the finger out. It's pretty nuts. Someone should get the sack.

    Shouldn't be any need for blue balls up there with the various shenanigans that go on.
