Costal Erosion Rosslare

[mfjoc]

There seems to be a major costal protection scheme ongoing between Rosslare harbour and Rosslare strand.

The line is closed south of Wexford during the day.

I can't find any details about it on line.

Anyone her know the details?

Its not this - this is an OPW funded project for Rosslare Strand village, they are still dithering about the funding.

What I am talking about is much closer to Rosslare Harbour where there has been serious erosion of the cliff and fields have vanished into the sea over the last few years. Along a half kilometre stretch the line is now only about 20m from falling into the sea. This is the area where the work is going on.

On the Channel 5 programme on railways, when they featured Ireland, they mentioned the Dublin to rosslare line was one of the most expensive in Europe to maintain!
