Well, I've heard it all now....The new road linking Cork to Killarney is going to be re-routed because ecologists have found Killarney slugs in Cascade Wood in Ballyvourney. This road was to be built over 30 years ago and is a disgrace between Macroom and Killarney. The new GREEN Minister has said absolutely no to the slug destroyers!Slugs?The re-routing will cost a fortune! A fortune!For slugs?I know this wood. It's about 2 acres in size only. It's wild. A big scelp of it was cut out of it only a few weeks ago for a prominent local politician's son to build a house on it.Where were the slugs then?Another well-connected fella cuts timber from it for his wood-burning stove!!!What about the Slugs? Who will save the slugs from the builder? the chainsaw? the stove????I listened to a programme...Spin and Bull Education and LearningNew theatre show on RTE Radio Stuck in the sticksSee 2 more posts on this topic: Rte Radio, Mooney Show, Postponed Lorraines, Lorraines Guest, Guest
