The perfectly recreated galleon “Andalusia” is visiting Cork.
An example of that country’s pride and awareness of her maritime history.
She is moored alongside the historic customs buildings in Cork.
An example of this city’s contempt for its maritime history.
Sold and allowed to rot

You think what's being done to land-based ecosystems is bad?
Take a look at what's happening under the sea. It's as if all birds and other wild animals were being hoovered out of forests for our mass consumption, shredding the trees and everything else in the process.
Out of sight, out of mind.

I will forever be haunted by this footage.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

It's depressing to see the OPW pursue this environmentally and economically damaging scheme.
Upstream storage would cost just 1/10th of the cost of this over engineered monstrosity.
Even if it's done, businesses won't be able to get insurance.
