I thank the Minister of State for his response. Seagull droppings contain ten times more bacteria than pollution caused by human waste and, therefore, this is an urgent health and safety issue. One gentleman told me about his five year old grandson who was eating in his garden one summer afternoon and was attacked by a seagull and badly injured. I appreciate the Minister of State's comments regarding the declaration and if can be speeded up, all the better. I urge him to include Balbriggan and other coastal towns in north County Dublin.
