Call for special funding to restore Belmullet sea walls

A MAYO Oireachtas member has issued a plea for special government funding in the aftermath of Storm Callum.

Senator Keith Swanick said a major investment is needed to restore damaged sea walls and wave breakers along the Belmullet to Blacksod road.

The Erris-based GP called for urgent action on the matter, such was the scale of destruction caused by storm winds at the exposed location. 

 

He praised the outdoor staff of Mayo County Council for their outstanding work during the clean-up operation.
