Coastline is crumbling – it’s time to act

WOULD Environment Minister John Gormley stop preaching about the climate changes that “will” affect Irish landscapes and buildings in the future (Irish Examiner, September 15).

Our coastline is disappearing in front of our eyes now. The entrance to Cork Harbour is crumbling as sections of the cliff are falling in White Bay, Graball Bay and Weaver’s Point.

Even Cobh has had landslides. Every heavy rainfall, storm and high seas cause further destruction.
