Parking problems ‘could spark another tragedy at beach’

A warning was given yesterday of another potential tragedy on a popular Blue Flag beach where two nuns drowned while swimming last week.

A shortage of off-beach parking facilities at Inch, Co Kerry, is forcing cars onto the beach, and buses and other large vehicles to park on the main road, leading to a chaotic situation on busy summer days.

Inch Community Council has called on local landowners to consider selling, or leasing land for parking to Kerry County Council.
