A protest is taking place in Kinsale this evening after a commercial mussel farm was given the go-ahead to set up in the area.
Locals are opposing the granting of a licence to Woodstown Bay Shellfish who will operate the mussel farm near the Dock beach.
Speaking to RedFM News, Kinsale resident Donal Hayes says the gathering is on at 6:30pm and they're asking everyone to come:
"Anyone who has a boat please join us, anyone who wants to come down. You'll get a fabulous view from Charlesfort or from the Dock beach as well. We can do that. That'll draw media attention as well and it's a fabulous photo opportunity, the whole lot."
