Does anyone know if he handy slip there has reopened since last year?

Hush , the slip in Clogherhead, Co.Louth is open again. But beware there is a thick covering of slippy green weed on it , from the HW mark down. I've rang the council about cleaning it up but don't hold your breath.

[hush1]

we could clean it ourselves ? I fyou up for it?

I've tried pouring aldi bleach on it at LW the last time it was in a state, it had very little effect only changed the weeds colour If anybody has any tips on non-back breaking methods for clearing green slimey weed off slipways, please let me know.

some of the lads had the same problem: slimey slippy slipway, council not responding. so they had a word with a local council worker and he got them the stuff which they spray on themselves. I'll ask them what it's called.

[Tanglerat]

The stuff you want is Sodium HypoChlorite 10/11% from the Albion Chemical Co, Leeds, UK tel 0044 113 2505011

Dilute it 4:1 and spray in on.

As usual, it's important to realise that I have no experience or qualifications in this, so treat every chemical with caution and follow the manufacturer's instructions/usual safe practices.

Prob best to put a call into the Eastern Regional fisheries Board ask them the best way to do it...any volunteers?

[Tanglerat]

Googled them, this is probably their website:

Thanks Tanglerat. If I don't see action from the council, I'll get a few lads to chip in for a drum of that stuff. Compared to some of the effluent that gets pumped into the harbour here it's probably fairly harmless.
