Work has begun on clearing a North Kerry road that's been closed for almost a fortnight as a result of a bog slide.
The bog slide occurred in Ballymacelligott on August 15th after a heavy downpour of rain following a heatwave.
It left two families trapped in their homes in Maughanknockane for 19 hours.

Fianna Fail councillor Fionnán Fitzgerald says that works couldn’t begin on the road until the peat had dried out.
He says the road is due to open to the public this evening and into the weekend.
Cllr Fitzgerald is asking for something to be done to prevent a bog slide from occurring again:
