A number of boats that have been abandoned at a scenic West Cork pier are causing structural damage as well as spoiling the area’s natural beauty, according to a local councillor.

The issue was raised at the recent meeting of Cork County Council’s Western Division by Schull-based Fine Gael councillor Caroline Cronin.
