Large amount of sand washed up on traditionally rocky south Dublin stretch at weekend
“There was a thin enough layer of sand covering the beach, I just put it down to the low tide,” she said.
A beach on Achill island in Co Mayo made headlines in 2017, when it reappeared after a near 30-year absence. Dooagh beach was washed away during the winter of 1984 but returned when hundreds of thousands of tonnes of sand was deposited back on the shoreline in April 2017. However, earlier this year the beach was washed away again, following several weeks of heavy seas.
Similarly, the local authority has cautioned that the new sandy shores of Killiney beach may not last long enough for locals to enjoy them this summer. “It is possible that the sand may transfer again to another location in the short term; council engineers will continue to monitor Killiney beach accordingly,” the council spokeswoman said.
