Erosion may see parts of beach dunes area become off-limits to public

PARTS of a fragile dunes area at a Kerry Blue Flag beach may soon be off-limits to the public for conservation reasons.

Kerry County Council is to meet with experts on dune management in relation to continuing erosion at Rossbeigh, where up to 50 acres have already been washed away by the sea and a new island formed.

While the council does not have the money to tackle ongoing erosion in the area, it now says some “no-go” areas may have to be created to help the dunes to recover.
