Sir, - Concerning the thick mat of sewage along the beach and parts of the footpath on Sandymount Strand, would it perhaps be appropriate to adopt a new symbol?
As well as the Blue Flag for the accepted European standard for pollution free beaches, a dark brown flag should be flown on the worse polluted beaches, as a danger signal to all would be swimmers and parents of small children who play on the sands. - Yours, etc.,
Tritonville Road,
Dublin 4.
