Beautiful to visit, but our village needs more than scenery

I WISH to complain about the lack of facilities in West Cork villages. I live in Glengarriff, a tourism magnet renowned for its natural beauty .

It is a fairly big village, but it has no facilities for the people who actually live there. It has no swimming pool, no gym, no tennis court, no dressing rooms on its rundown football pitch, no creche, no supermarket and no leisure centre.

What are our public representatives doing about it? Absolutely nothing!
