Cape Clear Island – North Pier
Questions to Minister Coveney regarding the present state of the Pier on Cape Clear in Dail Eireann – 10th November
Cape Clear Island - North Harbour
Video Link to follow
Deputy Noel Harrington:
I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this topic for debate as it is of vital importance to the 125 residents of Oileán Chléire – Cape Clear island – in going about their daily work. There is a huge problem in that the Bull’s Nose pier at Trá Ciarán in the north harbour has been battered by the sea since it was built during the Famine. It is in danger of collapsing and blocking the harbour to all navigation, thereby closing this gateway for the 125 residents and almost 120,000 visitors who visit the island every year. If the phrase “a stich in time saves nine” was ever applicable, it is in this case. The pier is in urgent need of remedial works, as it is the gateway for an industrious and hardworking population who, since the 4th century, have made mammoth efforts to combat their remoteness eight miles into the Atlantic – Ireland’s msot southerly point.
