What do you mean “solved”?

We know an Irishman built it to go fight a Scotsman, saw the size of him and went home, then tore it up so the Scots couldn’t get to Ireland easily.

Other way around, the Scot / Benandonner is the one who tore up the causeway when Fionn tricked him.

That's what makes it worse. They have a picture, there's also tons of public free use pics, and they still couldn't put a damn pic in their article.
