BAD SMELLS ON THE BEACH

EILEEN TRAVERS,

EILEEN TRAVERS,

Sir, - Thank you for your article on our beaches in your edition of July 22nd. But not all the destruction of our enjoyment on beaches can be touched or seen. It can sometimes be smelled.

I have just returned from a week in homely Donegal. The sewage smell from Rossnowlagh beach - just down from a hotel - is still enough to make me feel sick. It begins every evening and lasts until morning. If you are going to beautiful Donegal, avoid Rossnowlagh beach in the late evening - or bring a handkerchief, or a red flag. - Yours, etc.,

EILEEN TRAVERS,
