A seal has been spotted lying on a dumped mattress surrounded by other rubbish in Dublin Bay.

The video was shared by the environmental group Flossie and the Beach Cleaners.

It said members cleared the Dun Laoghaire area of litter just last week.

The group said it posted the video to shock people into action.

“We have been sent this clip … you sometimes wonder what kind of shocking video will work to make people take action,” it wrote.

“We cleaned these rocks by boat and land just over a week ago. We’re going back tomorrow at 2pm if anyone wants to help.”

The video has been viewed more than 6,500 times.

The environmental organisation says it collected 251 kg - a quarter of a tonne - of rubbish, in November alone.
