Samaritans’ signs for Kilkee Cliff Walk

SAMARITANS’ signs are to be placed on the Cliff Walk in Kilkee and at the bridge on route to St George’s Head on the opposite side of the resort. One sign apiece is to be placed in each location.
The matter was discussed at the February meeting of Kilkee Town Council, while councillors decided upon the location for the signs at this week’s meeting.
“I propose that we put them up at the start and at the end of the Cliff Walk on a low level. I’m still not sure if there’s a necessity for them but I can understand people feeling that there should be signs,” Councillor Paddy Collins commented.
“Personally, I think they should be strategically placed on the cliff walk. If people are in a difficulty and are going on for their walk and they see that sign, it may help that person. I think they should be placed there at a low level,” Councillor Claire Haugh suggested.
However, Councillors Mary Owens and Lily Marrinan Sullivan suggested that a sign apiece be placed on the cliff walk and close to St George’s Head. Their council colleagues agreed with this solution.
“If people find them upsetting, we can take them down,” Councillor Marrinan Sullivan said.
