Construction underway in August at Clontarf Road, Dollymount

I share the dismay of Kay O’Rourke (October 7th) at the new concrete wall going up along the Clontarf Road. This wall blocks the view of the lagoon and Bull Island from the road and appears to be heading from the causeway all the way to the wooden bridge. None of our local representatives flagged it at the planning stages. All I got through my letterbox was the good news story of work beginning on a new coastal bike path. This view is one of the great joys of living in this part of the city and a major public amenity beloved by generations of locals and day-trippers alike. To add insult to injury, this stretch of the seafront is not prone to flooding.

Scenes from last months Psicobloc Masters Series in Park City, Utah at which some of the world’s best climbers competed without ropes or harnesses, scaling a 50 foot (15m) angled wall overhanging a swimming pool to catch their fall.

Many fell.
