You might remember the story of the small village in Ireland where thousands of tonnes of sand began to wash ashore, restoring a beach that was blown away in a storm in 1985.

For nearly two years, the beach at Achill became an international tourist attraction - but, alas, it's golden sands are no more.

Sean Molloy, the manager of Achill tourism told 5 Live's Clare McDonnell that the beach hasn't gone far this time: "It's about 250 to 300 years offshore, you can see from the pattern of the waves coming into the beach... So maybe it might come back to us again very shortly."
