Rossbeigh dunes cry for protection

Donal Hickey says erosion threatens the Kerry beach.

BLUE flag Rossbeigh Beach, just off the Ring of Kerry, has long been listed among the finest in the Irish coastline. But it is one of the most endangered in relation to erosion.

The beach, sand dunes and cliffs have been taking a battering from wind and wave for years, with very little being done by the authorities to resolve a problem that has been getting progressively worse.
