He says recent rockfalls, caused by extreme weather, have made the cliff unstable.

Cllr Fitzgerald says rocks and rubble are falling making the access to the beach dangerous.

The Castleisland Corca Dhuibhne MD councillor says work needs to be carried out there to allow people safe access to the beach and he’s also calling for signage to be put up to warn people to take care in the area.

In response, Kerry County Council says access to Binn Bán beach and the cliff face surrounding the beach is private property and therefore, they aren’t within the council’s remit.

However, the council says it has erected two signs, warning of the rockfall, at the entrance point to the beach.
