A number of vehicles had to be towed away from Brittas Bay. THOUSANDS of visitors flocked to some of Wicklow’s most scenic beaches over the weekend as they took advantage of the recent heatwave. Gardai had up to a dozen vehicles towed away on Saturday and Sunday for parking in a dangerous manner likely to restrict traffic trying to pass through at Brittas Bay and Mahgeramore, including emergency service vehicles which may have required access. Superintendent Declan McCarthy said; ‘It was an incredibly busy weekend with throngs of people arriving to Brittas Bay and Magheramore. There were still problems with parking but the recent works carried out by Wicklow County Council at Magheramore seems to have eased some of the issues were experiencing.
