Plan to clean up beaches with bylaws

PROBLEMS with illegal camping and the driving of motorised vehicles onto the beaches in Kerry are to be tackled during the summer.

Amended beach bylaws, which have just been adopted by Kerry County Council, will be in force next month and a newly appointed beach warden will take up duty.

Fears had been expressed that some of the bylaws were too severe, especially in relation to the social activities such as barbecues organised by local groups.
