Cork County Council is set to introduce a number of new safety measures to prevent public access to the wreck of the MV Alta at Ballyandreen Bay, Ballycotton.

The measures will include erecting 280 metres of fencing alongside the cliff, the reinforcement of cliff walk fencing to discourage and prevent the public from accessing the foreshore, lockable pedestrian gates, and warning signs will be placed at numerous locations surrounding the wreck.
