Council Still Waiting For Storm Repair Funding

Clare County Council says it's still waiting for government funding to pay for storm repairs in Kilkee.

While the local authority has been given €16.8 million to cover the cost of works along the county's coast, this doesn't include the West Clare seaside town because it suffered damage in one of the later storms on February 1st.

However, Senior Council Engineer Tom Tiernan has told Clare FM works will start soon.
