Cllr Farren said while
the Commissioners of Irish Lights had maintained
coastal protection works at the lighthouse side of
the bay for many years to protect the lighthouse
walls, recent storms had eroded some of the dunes at
the bay.
“For years there were several paths on to the beach
for locals and tourists but with the increasing
popularity of the beach since it achieved blue flag
status and became the car park for the new coastal
walk at Inishowen Head footfall has increased," said
Cllr Farren.
"Heavier footfall wears away the bentgrass and
exposes the sand to further erosion. |
