event notice
Thursday August 17, 2006 10:49 by Free the Old Head of Kinsale 086-3004573
Fight for the Right to Roam Another People's Picnic to protest for the return of public access to the Old Head of Kinsale, Co. Cork will be held at the scenic headland on Sunday, 3rd September 2006 from 2-4pm. The Old Head of Kinsale is one of Ireland's most stunning locations with panoramic views of the south and west Cork coastlines. It has a protected bird sanctuary and is also home to many other rare flora and fauna including Ireland's only reptile, the Common Lizard. The headland is reached through a narrow isthmus and there is a walk of over one kilometre to the Old Head of Kinsale lighthouse (pictured). At the entrance is the historic De Courcey's castle (ruin) and evidence of Iron Age settlement has been found at the Old Head. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I'm really glad to see that the Free the Old Head campaign is up and going again. Having attended a few picnics there myself since the gates went up, I'd certainly recommend this for a productive day out. Good fun, good cause.
We all support this noble cause but surely the timing is all wrong. There's only one picnic tomorrow and that's in Croke Park. Jaysus, will the real Albert Einstein step forward.
The old head of Kinsale issue symbolises the direction this country has taken with the wealthy and well connected carving up Irelands heritage for their own selfish benefit. Example include Carton house, Smurfits K-club, Palmerstown house and lands(already badly damaged by JIM Mansfield's new golf course - that particular individual is a real nasty piece of work and routinly bullies and threatens people who get in the way of his often illegal develompents) and current proplosal to destroy Lough Key forest part with a golf course and nearly 500 houses - the list goes on and on!!.
I don't ever recall seeing you there, All Ireland or otherwise.
Such a lovely spot. I wish I had had more time to visit and learn the history of this beautiful spot in your beautiful Ireland. I hope it will return to being a spot for everyone to enjoy and visit.
