We the undersigned request that the electric wire fence which has been erected between the dunes and the beach on Inch be removed immediately for the following reasons.
1. It is denying access to the dunes which are a compelling aspect of the invaluable tourist amenity which is Inch beach.
2. The fence is blocking two long established rights of way. One a path along the top of the dunes, the other a very well-trodden path between the dunes and the beach.
3. The fence is electrified which is totally unsuitable for an area which will be full of young children during the summer months.

I always thought the dunes at Inch were a public, open space because they've been enjoyed by so many over the years. This fence blocks access to walking on the dunes from the car park and cafe. It blocks the many people like us who have walked there every week for years and it disrupts Inch's attraction to the many visitor s who come to walk and play in the dunes.
The important thing to do in Inch is to keep the motorcyclists out of the dunes and the cars off the beach. This should be an area reserved to animlas, nature and human who respect the place. I think there are better ways to do that than putting up elctrical fences.
just stop the motor vehicles from using the beach, they are anti-social
always such alovely welcome at inch. an electric fence is not congruent there.
I agree with Ursina. A more productive approach to protecting the beach and dunes would be to forbid the circulation of cars, motorcycles and other motor vehicles at Inch.
We need free access to the land of Ireland
There is no need for electric fences on Inch beach.
