Sligo Borough Council will file an application to the OPW to secure funding to fight coastal erosion.
There have been serious issues raised over the future of Strandhill over the aggressive erosion in recent times.

Fianna Fail Cllr Tom MacSharry stressed that it is a matter of urgency and must be addressed immediately.
