Kerry road-collapse residents offered help to move

Hilltop residents in Kerry, whose vehicular access was cut off after a road slippage last week, can move out of their homes temporarily.

The Cliff Road, overlooking Rossbeigh beach, collapsed last week, and families in 17 houses, eight of which are permanent homes, have no car access. Telephone poles and lines were left hanging over the cliff and some houses were within 300m of the slippage.

Kerry County Council officials met with householders in Glenbeigh on Wednesday and offered to facilitate a temporary move, including paying rental costs, until a solution could be found.
