15 Silverbridge CC members plus local volunteers clean the Slane

"... We collected about 20 bags of rubbish in total from the get on at Stackallen weir, the river itself and the get out at Slane bridge. The lads filled a whole Canadian canoe and a sit on top with rubbish on the way down the river, from the weirs and islands mainly. The rest of the group collected more from around the get in and take out. .... The council were very helpful and supplied us with extra bags and litter pickers as well as collecting the bags the next day.

We all agreed that it is a great initiative and something that should become an annual event. The locals were really supportive and we rounded it all off with a picnic party in the glorious sunshine. Super day." Eoin Hurst
