Four ring buoys vandalised on Wexford Bridge

Last night, four safety ring buoys were taken from their housing units and thrown off Wexford Bridge. The buoys, which are used to prevent drowning, were discovered missing this morning.

Today, Wexford MarineWatch reminded people that the ring buoys are not toys and should be left alone.

The voluntary organisation also told its followers that CCTV footage of the area has been downloaded and handed over to Gardaí.

Two of the ring buoys were later recovered from the River Slaney by a member of the public. The two missing units have since been replaced by Wexford MarineWatch volunteers.

Earlier this year, a similar incident occurred when one man was caught vandalising two of the units on Wexford Bridge. However, Wexford Gardaí later decided against pressing criminal charges.
