Sir, - I feel compelled to protest at the High Court's recent decision to end public access to the Old Head of Kinsale. The Old Head is an area with an important historic, archaeological, folklore and place-name heritage. It is of interest to geologists and naturalists, and is very beautiful. It is to be hoped that, in future, similar lamentable attempts to pillage our heritage are prevented before they get off the ground.
The last time I visited the Old Head I was charged for the privilege. There was no danger from flying golf balls. The golf course was deserted. What a waste. - Yours etc.,
Dr Clodagh Tait, Ballykennefick, Whitegate, Co Cork.
