state of our waters

#1 Post by Donnyboy1 »

A lot of moaning about foreign nationals, but it isn't an irish man trying to clean up our waters

I find it interesting nobody has commented on this. Onriginaly from the US, I moved to Ireland 16 years ago. In that time I have seen Ireland change to the multi racial culture we have today. The foreigners have done more to improve this country than anyone. I think its time for attitudes to change for the positive. I'd much rather run into a group of polish fishing which happily share the space rather then farmer locals who run you for fun. I don't agree with anyone harming the ocean, regardless of country or race.
I spend allot of time sea fishing in remote western areas of the country, These areas too are full of litter. We need to clean up our country. In my opinion all the able bodied unemployed should be required to work at least 1 day per week to clean up these areas and perform other tasks that need to be done. Not everything can be done for profit, somethings just need to get done.

everyone is responsible, no matter where you come from, this is the result of a throw away society, its about time some people stopped being lazy, use a bin or better yet reuse or recycle.

But why should the unemployed clean up after the dirty fekkers who dump their s*** wherever they go?
Most of the spots I fish are covered in the crap the "fishermen" leave behind. I hate litterbugs and they should be hounded and shamed.

If this is to do with fshing only, this is the silliest comment Ive seen on here in a long time. Someone seems to be just throwing a trout to catch a Salmon and get us all annoyed!!!
