Plans for a €25m project to tackle coastal erosion in parts of East Cork which were mothballed 20 years ago will cost multiples more now because the rate of land loss has accelerated rapidly.
Councillors in the region have called for a new study to be carried out into the full extent of the problem amid claims that "vast amounts of farmland" have disappeared since then.
