Prince presented with piece of coral ahead of visit to Mullaghmore

The 330m-year-old gift, cut from the shoreline of the Co Sligo fishing village, was given to Charles as he toured Ireland’s Marine Institute in west Galway with the Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
University College Cork geology professor Andrew Wheeler, who presented the gift, said he hoped the polished coral would provide Charles with another perspective on Mullaghmore.
