Marine scientists are to begin investigating mysterious blue balls that have been washing up on Dublin beaches as efforts continue to find out where they are coming from.
The small objects are thought to be taprogge balls, commonly used in heavy industry, and while similar ones have been traced to the Hartlepool nuclear power plant in the UK, the origins of those in Dublin remain unknown.
