Strange Device off Moville

Buoy Planters

I looked out across Lough Foyle from my back garden earlier this week and saw what I thought looked like an oil drilling platform.

It was in the water some way out round about the level of the Upper Pier.

I saw it the next day closer to where I live.

No Oil

They couldn't have discovered oil in the Foyle could they, without CraicOn or the local newspapers hearing about it?

On asking about I heard that it was a device for anchoring buoys to the bottom of the lough bed.

Over the weekend it has been anchored at the pier and has caused more than a little interest.
