Donegal amenities under threat by coastal erosion

However, for local communities in areas like Inishowen in north Donegal, coastal erosion has long been a worry, as it eats away at valuable local amenities like beaches and golf courses.

Local campaigner Des Kemmy said thousands of people used the walkway but 40 to 50 metres have been eroded at the beach and the pathway is now gone. The report by RPS consultant engineers recommends an ongoing shoreline monitoring programme, which the council said is progressing to tender. He said up to 100m of dunes have been lost along with a car park and part of an access road and now the historic St Mary's Church is threatened by erosion.
