€7m Dursey Island tourism project will threaten endangered bird species, warns environmental group

An environmental group has warned that a €7m tourism project to promote Dursey Island in west Cork will threaten the existence of an endangered species of bird.

Friends of the Irish Environment has called on Heritage Minister Josepha Madigan to intervene in the current plans by Cork County Council and Fáilte Ireland for a new cable car and visitor centre to Dursey in order to protect the future of choughs.
