Beaches have been left in 'carnage' across the country after thousands flocked to the coast during the hottest day of the year on Monday which saw the highest recorded temperature in 135 years at 33C in the Phoenix Park weather station.
With Dublin’s record high, Burrow beach in Sutton, Co Dublin, proved to be a popular spot for those wishing to cool off. Fingal County Council has said that it took six hours to clean up litter left behind as well as the need for additional staff and equipment.
In a statement to the Irish Mirror, the council said that crews have been at all beaches since 5.30 am this morning.
