Councillors pass motion to restrict height of Clontarf sea wall

Dublin City Councillors have passed a motion which says a new sea wall in Clontarf should be no higher than necessary to protect from flooding.

The council called a full meeting last night to deal with the controversial wall.

Locals have objected to the construction of the wall along the coastline.

Councillors also voted to reverse any building work already carried out that goes against the motion.
