Coastguard unit urges go-ahead in pier plan

ONE of the busiest coastguard units in the country yesterday urged Clare County Council to continue “as a matter or urgency” its €6 million pier plan for Doolin.

Last year, the Doolin unit of the Irish coastguard launched boats from the existing pier 85 times.

The revised pier plan before the council is facing opposition from surfers who fear that the pier plan will destroy world-class waves at Doolin.
