Combatting Erosion on the Banks of The Feale

A huge job of work is underway on the riverbank.

This is the right hand side where a previous shoring up with boulders was done.

There were seven lorries full of boulders queued up on the day I visited.

A road is being laid and the big boulders will be placed on it as an emergency measure to save the houses at Convent Cross from being undermined and falling into the river.

A Sad Ditty

Do you love me

Or do you not

You told me once

But I forgot.

    I love how you document all things happening in Listowel. Your photos are even better than seeing it in person. You show all possible angles. I look forward to seeing more photos of combatting erosion. Thank you Mary.
