Letter to the Editor: Population overload is choking our countryside

Environmentally, the increasing number of visitors is unintentionally degrading the area that they come to see and admire most in the Burren. Also there are negative reactions to the crowds at the Cliffs of Moher, the Blarney Stone, Glendalough and Dublin.

There are reports of intermittent crowding by bus loads of tourists at Cork’s English Market. Unfortunately, our economic system is geared to requiring continual growth and that is just not possible.
