Calls to ban inflatable toys on Wexford beaches

Bring the buckets and spades, but keep the inflatables at home.

That's the advice from Wexford County Council water safety development officer Tom Doyle who says that there are calls to ban inflatables on beaches in Wexford altogether. Mr Doyle explained that inflatables pose a great danger to children at the beach due to offshore winds or tides that can pull them out too far causing children to get into difficulties.
