SPECIAL REPORT: Flooding aftermath in Rossbeigh

EVEN on a relatively windless day, the breakers that ceaselessly pound the fragile shoreline at Rossbeigh, on the Ring of Kerry, can look menacing.

Easy, therefore, to imagine what it’s like when the waves are driven by hurricane winds and high tides.

Local people use terms such as “tsunami-like” and “like an earthquake” to describe what they have witnessed, especially on January 6.
