Friends of the Irish Environment urges Government to purchase 1,400-acre site that has been put up for sale for €10 million
I think the problem is that people don’t see the value of a national park, the value of taking over an area like this. We put in five national parks in the last 20 years of the last century, and we haven’t put in one this century. And when you look at the kind of things, the advantages we get from them, it really is a bit difficult to understand. I think it’s just that people don’t realise the value of properly conserving and properly managing the land.
“I mean, this is one of the things if you look at Killarney, for instance, Killarney’s tourism is really based entirely on its national park.” “If you look at it just in climate terms – if you removed sheep, you’d have less methane emissions, and you’d also have a sink because as the vegetation grows up, it absorbs greenhouse gases. And if we have that kind of sink, that means that we have to reduce things less so we can drive a little more and do those kinds of things a little more.”
