Council owed €2m for coastal works

NO FURTHER coastal protection works will be carried out by Kerry County Council until it receives €2 million it is owed by the Government, the council has warned.

Last year, the council spent €4m on emergency works to protect the public roadway at Inch in the Dingle Peninsula but is still awaiting reimbursement.

A grant of almost €1m was received but central Government is committed to paying 75% of the total cost, which leaves a €2m shortfall.
