#CoastalNotes - The Irish Times reports on uncertainly over State funding for repair works to Kilkee's promenade.

Four months after the seaside town – promoted as part of the Wild Atlantic Way initiative - was devastated in the last of the winter's extreme storm period, the roadway and a section of beach below the Strand Line are still fenced off, though repairs have been made to sea walls and pavements.

However, Clare County Council says it is unclear whether Government funding will be forthcoming for the remaining works.

As previously reported on Afloat.ie, €16.8 million was allocated in February to the council for storm-related repairs after January's extreme weather - but the damage to Kilkee, which occurred later, is not covered by this funding.
