More than 100 people fly camping on Hook Head tonight! No toilets! Fires on protected cliff edges. People throwing food to gulls. No litter bins! Caravans parked for days. Premier landmark in Wexford - now a cesspit and litter dump. This is a ‘protected’ SAC!

And all, can be seen, on Hook Heritage Webcam..
From what I can see motorhomes are outnumbered by about 6 to 1, and have been closer to 10 to 1 over the last weekend.
There are moves afoot,

A good start Martin would be a dozer, scoop the cnuts into the sea.
That would make way for the next crew of useless barstewarts who will no doubt turn up.

Anyone in the Hook tonight is in for a rough one, I'm sitting in the garden for the last hour watching the most of the spectacular lightning storm approach, from the direction of west Waterford, could be 50 to100k wide, the thunder and first drops of rain have just arrived,

️ time for the slate roof over my head.

Thunder & lightening in Co Galway took half hour to pass, finished about 9pm,

Thundry showers were mild enough compared to what was forecast

Unsocial media, what did you expect?

They read nothing.

When you get the like if your man Gallagher complaining about people camping, and then he is talking about drinking €120 champagne, I know it's his job, but that is really taking the Piss.

I noticed on one of the Lighthouse webcams, last week, 5/6 new signs along the grass edge, facing Dunmore East, went down that way this evening for a walk, sure enough, Private Property, no, tents, caravans or motorhomes, no camping or overnight parkng. I presume on the grass. The off grass area in front has had some repair work done with a bit of 8o4.

The land does have an owner the same guy who owned most of the land around the Lighthouse, and used to own Loftus ha in the past.
Resides in the good old USA, and I would suggest the signs are a nose thumb at the Council.
