Coastal Flooding & Erosion in Rush By Brian Dennehy
At face value the proposed flood protection measures for the Rogerstown inner estuary look positive but the contribution of residents of Rush would be invaluable in this regard. Unfortunately, the consultants name the area as the South Beach which is rather confusing as residents of Rush as well as FCC refer to the area North of the sailing club as the South Beach Rush. I have pointed out to the consultants that there is also required along with the current measures proposed in the flood defence wall that rock armour is required to be placed at the estuary side of the Rush Sailing Club boat yard to stop the erosion that is currently occurring.
